While looking through the packages still needing a rebuild, I have
noticed all 3 of the following:
- ExclusiveArch: %{ocaml_arches}
- ExcludeArch: sparc64 s390 s390x
- No ExcludeArch or ExclusiveArch at all
Only the first is correct, right? We ought to try to be consistent about this.
It's a good question. I've not been touching any of these lines.
%{ocaml_arches} is defined as part of RPM (/etc/rpm/macros.ocaml-srpm).
But it's not accurate and I don't know who put it in RPM.
There's no reason why OCaml shouldn't be compiled on any architecture
that has a C compiler. On a tiny minority you'd only be able to use
the slower bytecode implementation, but the only arches I'm aware this
is the case are s390{,x} & aarch64. On all the others there is some
native code compiler, even if it's not upstream (like ppc64).
