Dropping arm/ia64 opt compilers [was: felix regression on arm?]

John,
do you have any explanation for the felix test failure on arm?

I believe the problems on arm and ia64 are both OCaml compiler bugs. These are been reported upstream for a couple of programs that are in debian [1,2,3] and have all been essentially marked "wontfix" by the OCaml guys since they don't have ready access to those architectures.

So, I think we should probably consider dropping the native compilers on those architectures until they are supported better (either by upstream or some adventurous DD with knowledge of those archs).

Cheers,
