Helmut, file clash bug reports like this need to give more detail or
at least more context. Otherwise it's trying to find a needle in a
haystack second guessing where the clash happened.
The files involved are identified, but not the actual clash.
These headers files don't reference the arch directly, so it's not as
simple as an embedded <multiarch> reference.
The reporting tool found some file clash, but where exactly?
Is the clash between all architectures or only some architectures?
The tool identified a clash exists. It would be helpful to know where
it found the clash. Best would be a diff (or even a partial diff) of
one or more of the files. But if a file diff is not feasible, even
knowing how the clash was identified would be helpful.
The tool is automated, but it's not communicating sufficient
information automatically to be able to take action.
How does the tool know there is a clash? The tool should report what
it knows.
Even knowing which architectures are involved would be helpful.
