I got about half of the builds done.  Unfortunately, the alt-ergo build
failed on 32-bit ARM with errors that I don't understand:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1280684

I ran the build twice just in case it was alpha particles at work, but
sadly got the same result, namely lots of errors messages like this:

/tmp/camlasm8765df.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/camlasm8765df.s:34184: Error: value of 0000000000035170 too large for
field of 2 bytes at 000000000000ee3e
/tmp/camlasm8765df.s:34186: Error: value of 000000000003356e too large for
field of 2 bytes at 000000000000ee42

...

That looks like a 32-bit issue, but the i386 build was successful, so I'm
not sure what is going on here.  This is with ocaml 4.07, of course, so
there is some hope that 4.08 will fix the issue.  If this really is due to
a code error in alt-ergo, though, it will have to be addressed.  Any hints
much appreciated.
