Technically python3-gsd builds on little-endian machines, but it does not work. Assumptions are made in the code about data structures which means gsd files cannot be read on little-endian machines, and tests fail on s390x. The python3-gsd is useless on these systems. The issue is raised in Bug#1042500 and discussed upstream at https://github.com/glotzerlab/gsd/issues/12 Since gsd in principle can't work on little-endian systems (without large scale rewriting upstream), the binary packages are no longer being built for little-endian. For consistency, the old binary packages on little-endian arches should now be removed.
