[Bug 2031020] Re: tpm2-tss: FTBFS (test failures)

[Lukas Märdian]

Big endian architectures are not officially supported by upstream
according to https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tss/issues/2139

> I don't think we explicitly support big endian platforms (correct me
if I'm wrong). As it turns out, the TSS does not only build and run on
big endian machines - apparently, we are packaged for such platforms, as
well. At least for me, that was a surprise.

Furthermore, Debian and upstream are actively working on a solution for the big endian failures. So I think we should work around this FTBFS until it got properly fixed upstream. Maybe by disabling the broken FAPI & 
tcti-spi-helper functionality.

Edit: Or maybe the s390x binaries should be dropped all together, until
this is resolved?
