I am aware s390x is failing. I have been trying to port it, and it no longer segfaults (thanks to the pexport-endian.diff patch from upstream), but one part of the build step (the compiler bootstrapping itself) exits with code 1, without printing anything. That’s on my list of things to talk to upstream about.
x32 fails because there’s some hand-written assembly that isn’t aware of x32 (it assumes i386 and amd64 are the only two cases). Interestingly armel has failed a test case for floating-point (funnily enough I had just that test failed when I was testing ppc64el and it turned out to be a bug in qemu!), so I’ll need to look into that. Previous uploads weren’t running the tests as part of the build, so I don’t know if this is a regression or not. armhf has built successfully though... I’m currently a student, so one package is more than enough, although certainly one day I would consider applying to be a Debian Maintainer. Having said that, for a package in debian-science, there’s hardly any inconvenience on my part.
