[Arm-dev] CentOS 7.4.1708 rebuild status

Hi guys,

You're probably aware that upstream RHEL 7.4 was released last week, so
the x86_64 rebuild started in the following days
(https://seven.centos.org/2017/08/centos-linux-7-1708-based-on-rhel-7-4-source-code/)

On the armv7hl/armhfp side I started (as usual) to rebuild gcc, wait
(long time), then glibc.
Those rebuilds finished on saturday morning, so since that day, the
armhfp builders have been busy rebuilding the 700+ SRPMs.

At this stage, more than 530 pkgs were already rebuilt
(https://armv7.dev.centos.org/built.html), and some are excluded as not
covered for armhfp, which is always expected

But this time, we have packages that have failures where they were able
to build fine, or other new issues.

Example of package failing now to build is mariadb : it builds, but it
fails at the tests stage in mariadb itself, so we'll probably need to
verify what/why/how

Other new "interesting" issue is that some pkg are now relying on
external BuildRequires, like devtools-6 package set. As Johnny explained
it in his blog post for x86_64, it was built for x86_64, so there is no
issue at all. But on the armhfp side, it wasn't, and worse, it will not
work :
https://armv7.dev.centos.org/rpmbuild/c71708-pass-1/19769-devtoolset-6-gcc-6.2.1-3.1.el7/armv7hl/build.log
=> "*** Configuration armv7hl-redhat-linux-gnu7E not supported"

Any help on trying to solve those issues is welcome

PS : myself being busy on my SysAdmin job, so not having a lot of time
to spend on armhfp, and also diving into "Summer Holidays without
internet connectivity" mode soon ...
