With my proposed patch not installed, I tried:

./config.status --enable-archipelago

but got the error:

ERROR: User requested feature Archipelago backend support
       configure was not able to find it.

I don't see libxseg-devel available for Fedora; where does one get it to
even attempt compilation?
