Thank you for the bug report.
I have enabled all arches in configure, but the build still fails at a
later stage:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=kodi&arch=arm64&ver=15.1%2Bdfsg1-2&stamp=1440178114
...
CC      xbmc/cores/DllLoader/ldt_keeper.o
ldt_keeper.c:37:21: fatal error: asm/ldt.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [ldt_keeper.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

I'll investigate that later, but feel free to do a test build if you
have acces to a system of this architecture. It would also be
interesting to know if the built Kodi runs fine and I can't check that
lacking the machine for testing Kodi with a real screen.

Cheers,
Balint
