Hi,

Since 26.2-2 (Build with Qt6) stellarium fails to build on armhf and i386.
Qt6's lconvert runs out of memory converting the planetary features
translations:
'
    what():  std::bad_alloc
  Aborted
  make[3]: ***
[po/stellarium-planetary-features/CMakeFiles/translations-stellarium-planetary-features.dir/build.make:152:
translations/stellarium-planetary-features/ar.qm] Error 134

https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=stellarium&ver=26.3-1&arch=armhf

po/stellarium-planetary-features/ar.po is about 4.3 MB with 23,000
strings. 26.2-1, built with Qt5's lconvert, was fine on 32-bit. Ubuntu
hits the same failure on armhf.

Thanks,
Sebastien Bacher
