Hi Folks-

The Ubuntu builds currently build 4 platforms:

amd64
ppc64el
arm64
armhf

For a while now, we've had a QA failure (crash) when running the armhf build.  This refers to the ARMv7 "Hard Float" chipset.  This is our last 32-bit build.

None of the lead developers have access to this old of an ARM chipset and we don't really want to spend the time spinning up a QEMU box to track down this issue if we don't have any ARMv7 users.

Does anyone on the list want to track down this bug?  An example build log showing the error is at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/639683727/buildlog_ubuntu-focal-armhf.kicad_202212152203+c66dc035c7~162~ubuntu20.04.1_BUILDING.txt.gz

If we don't have any ARMv7 users and no one wants to fix this bug, then we'll consign ARMv7 to the bin where we keep the s390 and x86-32bit builds.

Best,
Seth
