Your compile failures are definitely bugs, but it isn't expected that
configure will detect all possible kinds of build failure
in advance.

For what it's worth I always build on ARM as part of my
checks before merging things to master, so this issue isn't
"all armv7l builds are broken" but something more specific
(probably some optional bits of the build which my build
platform doesn't have the dependencies for.)

Ccing Eduardo for the seccomp compile issues.

This probably hasn't been tested on a 32 bit build system :-(

I suggest you work around these bugs by passing configure
--disable-rdma --disable-seccomp while we fix things...
