This is a toolchain problem affecting many packages:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25051

There is nothing a binary-all python module can do to fix
architecture-specific toolchain bugs.

Is there a non-manual way to express that the autopkgtest must not run 
on arm64 and powerpc64el?
