Bug Description

Here are some briefs hints on how to achieve this:
<schopin> Anyone here has any experience bootstrapping a language in a "new" architecture? picolisp FTBFS on s390x because it needs itself, and I'm idly wondering how to solve the problem
<xnox> schopin: use debian's build to build ubuntu package; vendor it in a source package; upload to bileto ppa; rebuild again afresh; publish to ubuntu archive; rebuild in ubuntu archive proper again.
<xnox> schopin: alternative is to cross-build the first one.
<xnox> schopin: sometimes, debian/* has instructions for bootstrapping. as the first upload of the thing had to be bootstrapped by the person
