On armhf the the 0.0~git20160222-1 upload built, but now a binNMU
FTBFS with a testsuite hang:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=armci-mpi&arch=armhf

...
make[4]: Entering directory '/«PKGBUILDDIR»'
PASS: benchmarks/ping-pong
PASS: benchmarks/ring-flood
PASS: benchmarks/contiguous-bench
E: Caught signal ‘Terminated’: terminating immediately
make[4]: *** Deleting file 'benchmarks/strided-bench.log'
Makefile:1931: recipe for target 'check-TESTS' failed
make[3]: *** [check-TESTS] Terminated


Raising severity to RC since a rebuilt of software in stable is expected 
to succeed.

        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
