thanks for your comments! I picked a (rather large) patch from Debian
modifying hdfi.h, and the package now builds on arm. I pushed this, and
we will see for mips once hydra tries to build it (there is also a mips
specific patch on debian).

That would be nice, assuming that hdf4 is still maintained.
