Lash is basically abandoned at this point, and it fails to build on
aarch64-linux. Among the packages that depend on it indirectly is our
qemu package and gst-plugins-bad. I don't really know what it does, but
I know it's not great to have unmaintained packages in our tree.

Lash is used by audio applications to save connection state.  Many music
applications have support for lash and only need the headers to be
available at build time.

“gst-plugins-bad” has “fluidsynth” among its inputs (why?) and
fluidsynth has support for lash.  We could try to replace “lash” in
these cases with a “lash-headers” package and see if the presence of the
headers is sufficient.

Skipped building the lashd binary, it included a (copy? subset?) version
of sigsegv which was preventing lashd's compilation.
