I've just attempted to build mingw-libvirt (which is noarch) in rawhide
and was (unlucky?) that it got scheduled on an ARM builder. The build
failed with
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `armhfp-redhat-linux-gnu':
machine `armhfp-redhat' not recognized
IIRC this is an issue of not translating the arm build architecture
from armhfp to armv7hl by koji/mock/rpm

This is odd because the mingw-libvirt src.rpm has the exact same
tar.gz that we use in the native libvirt src.rpm which accepts
arm as a build system type. So I'd expect that the configure
script is already new enough to work with armv7 hosts at least.
Looking to see if mingw-libvirt was ever tested on ARM secondary
builders, I can't find any build logs. Querying the noarch.rpm
packages hosted on the ARM secondary builder koji host at:
http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/mingw-libvirt/1.0.5/1.fc20/noa...
shows that they were built on the Fedora primary koji instance.
Randomly picking some other mingw packages (mingw-libpng and
mingw-libxml2) shows they were also all build on x86 hosts and
trying a build of them on arm hosts causes the same failure.
So am I right in thinking any noarch RPMs were just copied across
to the ARM koji as-is, without attempting to rebuild them ?
If so, it seems we might have a bunch of noarch packages which
are going to turn out to be broken if unlucky to have their
builds scheduled on ARM.
Side-note, even if the packages worked fine, is it a good idea to
allow noarch builds to be scheduled on ARM, given that ARM is so
much slower ? It seems we're wasting precious ARM builder cycles,
as well as maintainer time, by letting noarch builds go to the
slower ARM builders instead of x86 builder hosts.
/me goes to play russian roulette triggering rebuilds of the
mingw-libvirt package until koji picks an x86 host
Regards,
Daniel
