I see the same on net.venge.monotone.  I run "make check" fairly
regularly, and I'm fairly sure I didn't see it a couple of days ago,
so I imagine something very recent in unstable has changed it.  Maybe
the binutils change?

(It may still be a bug in monotone, of course.  I haven't managed to
get a stack trace or anything yet.)

(There's nothing you need to do to switch on that glibc check, IIRC.
It just happens.)
