There is currently not even a manual way except for marking the test as skippable and exitting with error code 77 on unsupported architectures. Mind you, I don't think toolchain issues should be marked at the package level (but maybe you didn't mean that). If we can detect this failure mode (and similar ones in the future) we can of course generate hints based on this heuristics and have the failures ignored until the toolchain issues are fixed. Paul
