Architectures for MESS and MAME

Hello Team !
I have seen that the Architecture field we set on for mess is

amd64 i386 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 powerpc s390

Is there any reason not to set it to "any" at least for the first buildd
run ? As mame built successfully on arm after the last upload, I think
there is a good change for mess to succeed as well on that architecture.

On the long tem, I have nothing against reducing the list of supported
arches, I would suggest

amd64 armel i386 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 powerpc

if we want to go in that direction, as I am optimist we can make those
to work with upstream support.

Jordi, AFAIK you said at some time we need to prevent gnome-video-arcade
to build on architecture where mame does not build. Is that right ?
Would you be satisfied if we settle on the arch I suggested above ?
