Ah, are the test failures due to gtest instead of the package itself?
Would you know what exactly might be the delta between the gtest you fetched and the

Okay, I see. Maybe before release we could limit the archs then?
Or is it only due to gtest and we simply disable tests on those few archs?

Ofcourse, I just uploaded now. Thank you very much for your work!
