according to
https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=fast_xs.so&mode=filename&suite=unstable&arch=any
sh4 is the only architecture where ruby-hpricot ships that file.

there is something clearly broken with it, because the fast_xs.so file
is removed during the tests (debian/ruby-tests.rb), instead of in
debian/rules after the build; was the original ruby-hpricot build on sh4
done with tests disabled?

Also, ruby-hpricot is deprecated and we want to remove it from unstable
as soon as possible. If you can "fix" this by rebuilding it on sh4,
please do it, because I don't expect to gain any maintainance other than
removal.
