you will have to disable blosc if you want it to build on all arches, I
did not look into fixing blosc as its more complicated and its probably
performance critical code where adding slow hacks to remove unaligned
accesses will likely break the whole benefit of it.
This will have to be done upstream.

I built the ubuntu package on a sparc64 and it succeeded, from the logs
it looks like the same issue as arm's (unaligned memory access).
What makes you think it won't work?
