Most very likely my 7cba764 commit, =E2=80=98icecat: Use libjpeg-turbo in= stead of bundled libjpeg=E2=80=99[-turbo]. The =E2=80=98libjpeg-turbo=E2=80=99 package depends on =E2=80=98nasm=E2=80= =99, which I didn't realise was only supported on x86. > Debian includes Firefox packages for 'armhf' and 'mips64el', so it's > obviously possible to get it working on those platforms. I'll take a look. IceCat's bundled =E2=80=98libjpeg=E2=80=99 is really th= e (a?) -turbo variant, so it shouldn't matter, but I obviously missed something. > I find it disturbing that we seem to be in the habit of removing > non-Intel systems from 'supported-systems' fields in packages that othe= r > distros are able to get working on non-Intel.
