It is/was part of texlive-base.  Look at line 20 of the texlive-base
spec:

# Not ppc64, not s390x, not aarch64 due to lack of clisp
# code SIGSEGV's on armv7hl
%global xindy_arches empty

Just set that define appropriately.  It was disabled in
ac0adc86c6ee1f2559e4313f210b828778388999 because I guess there's some
sort of circular build dependency and I guess it never got turned back
on again.  Before that it was set to:

%global xindy_arches %{ix86} x86_64

And before acf14dee9c90d6f8b775adc0c1c5151d7df28642 that included arm:

%global xindy_arches %{arm} %{ix86} x86_64

To go back further you have to go back to the texlive package before
-base was split out.

My suggestion?  Package it as an entirely separate package to avoid any
kind of circular build dependency.  Call it xindy or texlive-xindy; I've
no preference.
