package: libavg
version: 1.7.1-1
severity: important
tags: patch

Afaict prior to it's removal and reintroduction libavg was available on most 
architectures. The changelog entries gave no inidication of this support being 
dropped yet the package was marked as only being suitable for i386 and amd64. 
I've been running a derivative distribution and one of my users asked for this 
package so I took a look.

It seemed the only thing stopping it building on other architectures was a tiny 
peice of inline assembler that appeared to be designed to cause a break when 
running in a debugger. I added a fallback for this of deliberately segfaulting 
(which should cause a break in most debuggers).
