Hi,

when working on cleaning up packaging for openSUSE, I discovered
couple of texts which fail on Linux running on non-Intel
architectures (aarch64, armv7l, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x), while they pass
on the same version of Linux distribution (openSUSE Tumbleweed) on Intel
architecture:

A man once asked Mozart how to write a symphony. Mozart told him
to study at the conservatory for six or eight years, then
apprentice with a composer for four or five more years, then
begin writing a few sonatas, pieces for string quartets, piano
concertos, etc. and in another four or five years he would be
ready to try a full symphony. The man said, "But Mozart, didn't
you write a symphony at age eight?" Mozart replied, "Yes, but
I didn't have to ask how."

MatÄj,

Thanks for the report.
That shouldn't be too hard to fix.
Can you file a bug in our github tracker?

Thanks,
Bill

Matěj,

all tests which _can_ run on non-Windows platforms because they don't
use the MS tools, just manipulate the project files which are xml, but
which don't really make any sense. MSCommon/vc.py has an architecture
translation table which maps things Windows is supported on - I know
because I dug there after my project complained ARM triggered a problem,
and that *is* supported on recent Windows. Seems odd to add
architectures to a windows-specific table that don't apply to windows so
probably a fix will involve properly catching the exception instead?

after taking a quick look: this is intentionally raising an exception
inside the try block, guess the code needs to do something better with
the answer.

Mats,

Indeed.
Perhaps just skip the test if on arch not supported?
