I've just pushed some changes to restrict supernova to its target
archs. (Also finally worked out the lintian copyright-file complaint.)
I would hope that this fixes the builds on many archs, in the sense of
allowing the non-supernova builds to complete successfully. I don't
have access to those archs, however, so I haven't tested.
