While I've often argued that a package's failure in specific sets of
circumstances that don't occur under normal usage in most environments
is not a grave bug; but I don't think failing outright on *any* of our
11 architectures qualifies.  If it fails to run on an architecture that
there's a binary for, that's grave.
