- From the build files I do not see any hard wired dependency on the jit itself,
but yes, the current structure was only built with the jit in mind.

No. I don't want to do that. Packages should be consistent across architectures.
Either we fix it, or let it FTBFS on these architectures.

@Breno: Is this the version you are talking about ?  2.1.0~beta2+dfsg-3
bpfcc is not targeted for Stretch anyways, so I can add a dependency on this
version to test.
By the way, can you point me to the bug report that talks about the luajit patch
for ppc64el ?
