Hi, I took a look and the build failures look unrelated to #855078. This bug is a segfault on non-x86 64-bit arches, the build failures we're seeing seem like build rule issues, and fixable. I'll take a look later today.

I actually was not expecting giac to built on armhf/mipsel and was surprised that it did before. But if it's too hard to fix, the easy way to force the migration (for this and future packages) is to upload a version that only declares Architecture: amd64 i386.
