It also built on hurd-i386 before you restricted the Architecture field. > Please also see #398249 for an example of failed build (and you can > see also that the bug is tagged "help" -- if you know how to fix the > source... ;) ) > The particular problem reported there is fixed, you don't build lrmi.c on non-x86. There's still some x86 asm in thunk.c that fails to build on other architectures, but that seems fixable. In any case, restricting the Architecture field is the wrong thing to do here IMO.
