No, thats not it. That is probably linux + uClibc, which is not what
you are after. You could use linux-any in the Architecture field, but
I'm not sure if that really works in practice (last time I heard about
this the buildds did not work correctly).

Anyway, since this is a new package, you might just want to put
architecture:any and let it fail on unsupported archs.
