I'm pretty sure that if you look at my hints [1], you'll find who did
it. I think that in this case I *thought* it better to let brial move
with the fix, obviously shortsightedly overlooking this particular
effect. Maybe I was wrong doing that, but I'm still unsure. I really
dislike hardcoding of the architectures of dependencies, as it's a
maintenance burden forever (until sage builds everywhere). I mean, who
is going to regularly check if sage builds on more architectures?
