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?
