I tested adding the commit you linked in [6] as a patch, and it looks like that takes care of things, so I should have an upload ready soon.
Bug#974136: FTBFS on non-x86
Package: netgen Version: 6.2.2006+dfsg-1 Hi, I was seeing today that netgen is an FTBFS on all but x86. I was tracking this down a bit and wanted to share the insight and links with you. Error: fatal error: x86intrin.h: No such file or directory The file already sounds very x86'ish and indeed it FTFBS on all but x86. This is in Debian since [1] And broken in Debian and Ubuntu since then [2][3] The broken code is upstream since [4] There is an upstream issue about it [5] and a fix available [6] at (but not landed upstream): I'm unsure what to suggest, you could either give that fix a try and if it works bump the upstream case that it is good to be merged. But OTOH I've realized that upstream itself e.g. on the Ubuntu PPA [7] only builds x86, so maybe instead you might just want to limit the architectures to match upstream?
