Is that a big-endian processor?
It may be a problem with wrong-endian data.

But Debian Sid has eSpeak 1.41.01. That should be OK if it uses a
big-endian set of phoneme data, or if you compile the phoneme data on
the big-endian processor using  Compile->Compile_phoneme_data in the
espeakedit program.
