ARMv5 is actually the default baseline that upstream supports. A patch by

Good point, but I think the list isn't too long:

Checking reverse dependencies...
# Broken Depends:
buildapp: buildapp [amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 ppc64el]

# Broken Build-Depends:
apt-dpkg-ref: sbcl
buildapp: sbcl
cafeobj: sbcl
cffi: sbcl
cl-alexandria: sbcl
cl-asdf: sbcl
cl-unicode: sbcl
pgcharts/non-free: sbcl (>= 1.2.0)
pgloader: sbcl (>= 1.1.13)
stumpwm: sbcl

Thanks and you're welcome. I enjoy fixing these portability issues.
