It seems that the latest version of conduit-extra is not portable to
armhf. The code uses the peek/poke functions for memory access but
doesn't take into account the alignment restriction of the armhf
architecture.

I have reported this upstream and also provided a fix:
    https://github.com/snoyberg/conduit/pull/269

I tested the above and it seems to work (both in my machine and the
armhf architecture). Should I prepare an updated version of the package
containing the above patch, or should we remove conduit-extra from armhf
for now, and wait for upstream to review the patch?

Cheers,
