Honestly, it has been so much that QE expects it these days. The QE
folks in my office hear of a firefox errata coming and start praying
that the arches behave this time. Because any delays for me means
delays in getting packages to them for testing. I run into some odd
issue on non-x86 arches every to every other release, though I will
admit that firefox has not failed while building ppc for quite some time
now.
I realize that I need to support these arches for RHEL anyway, so there
is some priority to fixing/working around compiler issues, but there is
no reason to delay Fedora fixes while we get things resolved.
For your fairly esoteric case, it would suffice to be able to
retrospectively file the 'ExcludeArch bug' and get the packages pushed
for the architectures on which they've already built, would it not?
