	This is also the case for the syncthing slackbuild, which could be used
for building the arm package.
I added a DOWNLOAD_ARM line in the .info, and allowed for FARCH=arm in the
slackbuild and it builds fine.
I, though, never came round to asking this question, so thank you :)

	My opinion : ARM is not officially supported by slackbuilds, but many
of them are currently working.
Allowing - just allowing - for DOWNLOAD_ARM (or even DOWNLOAD_ARM64) in the .info
file shouldn't disrupt anything.
And ARM portability is always a good thing.
