malcontent requires flatpak, which requires libseccomp, which requires
architecture-specific porting and is not available on loong64.

After resolving that, there is a cyclic build-dependency between
malcontent and flatpak. To break the cycle, you will need to build
malcontent on loong64 with the pkg.malcontent.nogui build profile, then
use that to build flatpak, and then you can rebuild malcontent with
full functionality. This sort of thing is a normal part of the process
of bootstrapping new architectures.
