spring fails to build on architectures other than i386, amd64 because
it passes arch-specific flags to gcc:

On alpha:
  cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-msse"
  cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-mfpmath=sse"
  cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-mieee-fp"

On armel:
  Assembler messages:
  Error: unknown architecture `i686'

  Error: unrecognized option -march=i686
  cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-msse"
  cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-mfpmath=sse"
  cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-mieee-fp"

See https://buildd.debian.org/~luk/status/package.php?p=spring for
other architectures (the problem is the same).

thanks

Even with corrected compiler flags spring fails to build on non x86
architectures because it uses x86 specific assembly code in the file
rts/lib/streflop/FPUSettings.h

Because it is unlikely that upstream changes this soon, I asked to add
spring to packages-arch-specific in #570534 to allow it to reach
testing.

I suggest to keep this bug report open to remind us (as in Debian
Games Team) to keep an eye on the corresponding upstream bug report to
eventually switch back to Architecture: any later.
