[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#798637: rna-star: FTBS on mpis

[Sascha Steinbiss]

Hi Olivier,

STAR upstream does not explicitly support non-Intel platforms, and there
also only 64-bit ones... see [1] as well.
To see if other archs work without explicit support, I have excluded all
archs that do not even compile and added some build time tests to verify
that the produced executable works. I'll keep an eye on it.
Do you think this bug should stay open?

Cheers
Sascha
