Ah, but it *does* fix building "ipxe-qemu"! So for that it would be nice
to apply the patch!

We should probably mark "ipxe" as x86_64-linux only; I think it is not
designed to build on other architectures.

That said, this does improve the situation for aarch64, triggering only
about 19 rebuilds... I have yet to finish testing how those rebuilds go,
but it is in progress.

live well,
