Package: liburcu
Version: 0.7.6-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

Your package seems to be marked Architecture: any but seems to FTBFS on
multiple architectures, some of them even release architectures. mipsel
has already been marked as Not-For-Us.

One of them is sparc which built for 0.6.7-1 but has failed on 0.7.6-1
since Jan 20th with:
  In file included from urcu/static/wfqueue.h:33:0, from wfqueue.c:25:
  ./urcu/uatomic.h:23:2: error: #error "Cannot build: unrecognized architecture 
detected."

This would prevent your package from entering testing, should the
release happen and testing unfroze.

>From what I see, fixing sparc shouldn't be a big deal. kfreebsd-* which
also FTBFS could be a bit less trivial to fix but still doable as a
maintainer's job.

Additionally, since upstream is clearly supporting selected
architectures and falling back to #error for unsupported ones, your
package should properly mark those supported ones in the Architecture
field instead of relying on porters noticing and marking as Not-For-Us.

It would also help reverse deps (I maintain one of them) to actually
know in which architectures they should limit the b-d on, since clearly
an unrestricted one would just result into more build failures.

Regards,
Faidon
