I very much would prefer to invest time on ppcel64 and arm64. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

Bug#860627: The issue looks like not enough RAM
Hi, As much as I can tell, it looks like to me that there's random crashes on i386 because of the lack of RAM. It looks like the test suite needs more than i386 can offer. Indeed, removing the --parallel option when running the tests seem to improve the situation. Though I'm not convince that removing that option is the thing to do. Anyway, I don't see a real user using a machine with 4GB as compute host these days. Even if someone would, they could well use the pre-built package, or not attempt to run tests when building. Therefore, I'll be lowering this bug severity to important, until I can get a reply from upstream. Your thoughts? Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
