No problem, thank you for merging it!

Oh sorry, I thought I had checked them, thanks.

I plan to try and fix the build also for other architectures when
updating the packages. For aarch64, the problem is that cpuinfo fails in
the build container [1,2], but maybe this is only an issue for running
the tests.
On 32-bit systems, some Python packages used for the tests depend
transitively on Rust. The tests are disabled anyway however as they take
a long time, so they can be removed from the native inputs for these
architectures.

Cheers,
David
