Hi all,

When I uploaded ffi to Debian, it was automatically sent to the Debian
buildd network, where a build was attempted on all the different
architectures that Debian supports. Many of these failed, a few of
them succeeded.

I will disable the builds on these failing architectures, but am
available to do anything to try and help debug the failures. What
architectures the project aims to support?

The ones that succeeded were: amd64, i386, powerpc, and sparc.

The ones that failed were: alpha, armel, hppa, ia64, mipsel, s390,
kfreebsd_amd64 and kfreebsd_i386.

The alpha, armel, hppa, ia64, mipsel, s390 architectures all had this
build error:

kfreebsd_amd64 and kfreebsd_i386 both gave this error:
