Sure, as it was never built on armel, it is not serious bug, so I
downgrade it to important , feel free to change severity if you find
it appropriate. So, from the point of view of release, do not bother
to fix it, it is not needed. But we'll leave bug open in case some arm
interested porter can fixed it at some point (after release).

Best regards, :-)
