No problem, I was just confused for a few seconds :)

Unfortunately the results are not very encouraging:
- now -decoder- fails to build on armel and armhf
- so -encoder- is not built on these architectures
- and s390x still fails the test suite for the encoder

Maybe it would help if you had access to some of those fancy
architectures? Options I know are:
* the GCC Compile Farm: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm
* getting a guest account on Debian machines:
  https://dsa.debian.org/doc/guest-account/

And I'm cc'ing the Debian bug, maybe someone else from the Debian
Perl Group has some ideas on how to handle this.
(For the Debian people: https://github.com/Sereal/Sereal/issues/47
has more than #742409.)
