yes, some arches just do not have the threaded RTS. If HSH does not work
there, then that’s the way it is. Although I’m not sure what’s the
correct step then (Set the correct arches in the Arch: line, or asking
for an entry in the packages-arch-specific file. Probably the latter,
I’m CC’ing the wanna-build team as they might know.)

Greetings,
Joachim
