Here is the build overview:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=rdma-core
The individual build logs are referenced from there.

There is already a Debian bug report for it:
https://bugs.debian.org/881731

You might want to answer to that report.

There is no elegant way to handle that. The most elegant way I can come
up with is:

1) Have two install files debian/foo.install.full and
debian/foo.install.no-coherent-dma

2) Determine the build architecture in debian/rules and set
VARIANT=full or VARIANT=no-coherent-dma depending on the architecture.

3) Extent dh_auto_configure:

    cp debian/foo.install.$(VARIANT) debian/foo.install

4) Do the clean in dh_auto_clean:

    rm -f debian/foo.install

Any better idea?
