Coming back to this point, seems Berlin is doing better with building
but I don't see mesa-updates on QA so I'm not sure about non
x86_64/i686-linux coverage. Anyone have any thoughts?

I don't know that I've seen real new failures, as still lots of
"missing derivation" or other transient issues that resolve on forcing
a rebuild.

I don't want to merge to master and have issues with substitute
coverage, but do have to call it at some point or will end up keep
scheduling/waiting for rebuilds to happen anyway.

Thoughts?

Thanks for looking at this Efraim. Looks like a good chunk of the curl
rebuilds did get through, did it look okay on aarch64 and anywhere
else you checked?
