Lowering severity is only possible if you get the arm binary removed
(and added to the "don't build me on arm" list), because currently,
this is a regression, and a newer version failing to build on an arch
that previously it did build on, is 'serious'.
You'll have to take this up with the appropriate people though, which is
not me.
