Thanks. OK. BTW besides the automatic handling for building with the ports version of some native libraries the semarie mentioned, it also provides a way to replace crates with different versions if needed, which we've had to use for rust software on some arches (especially libc on sparc64, but some others too I think). So it might be worth keeping an eye on bulk build logs and see how it gets on.
