For loong64, many packages[1] failed to compile and are currently in the "Build-Attempted" state in the Debian Package Auto-Building environment.
The error log is related to xutils-dev package.

LoongArch architecture has been supported in the xorg/util/cf upstream.
The merge-request can be found at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/util/cf/-/commit/b6ece89e454a94c96e6f4592fe58ac6d534f16f3.
Signed-of-by: WANG Xuerui.

In addition, LoongArch architecture has been added in xutils-dev (1:7.7+7) version[2].

Would it be possible to update "1:7.7+7 UNRELEASED" to "untable" in the next upload?
Your opinions are welcome.
