Subject: [PATCH] FIX: Skip `aalib' input on target ppc64le
Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2023 12:19:28 +0100

	* gstreamer.scm (gst-plugins-good):
	skip aalib input on ppc64le

Linker errors out for unknown reasons. The ascii art is imho not important
enough to skip the whole package from being included for ppc64le.

I think to get these Debbugs control commands to work, you need to CC
control <at> debbugs.gnu.org and have the commands appear at the top of the
email body :-).

Otherwise, you can also reply to 57134-done <at> debbugs.gnu.org as a
shortcut.

Apologies for the noise. I had a manifest in place working around 
the bug, but unfortunately the bug is still there.
