And if you do ExcludeArch: ppc64 remember that _ALL_ uses of
ExcludeArch: must have a corresponding bug filed, even if it's just an
explanation. And that bug must be on the corresponding ExcludeArch
tracker bug. I've created the tracker bug (#238953) for ppc64 -- aliased
'FE-ExcludeArch-ppc64' for consistency with the others, which will all
probably drop the leading 'FE-' from the name at some point.
We _really_ ought to start enforcing this "ExcludeArch must have bug"
rule in the build system.
