Good news is that mongodb 3.4.7 was uploaded to experimental
yesterday, and successfully builds for arm64 there. It also appears to
have a patch to fix compilation w/ gcc-7. Bad news is that it still
FTBFS on arm64 in artful:

I'll spend some time to see if I can understand why it builds in
Debian and not Ubuntu. But, TBH, I don't have any knowledge of mongodb
internals - I only sponsored the uploads to the mongo/s390x PPA - so I
am really just looking for a light switch in the dark :)
