electron32 got the same sort of failures:

2.3.0/pulseaudio-16.1/src -DPA_MAJOR=16 -c ../../third_party/unrar/google/unrar_wrapper.cc -o obj/third_party/unrar/unrar/unrar_wrapper.o
In file included from ../../third_party/unrar/google/unrar_wrapper.cc:13:
In file included from ../../third_party/unrar/src/rar.hpp:6:
../../third_party/unrar/src/os.hpp:167:10: fatal error: 'asm/hwcap.h' file not found
  167 | #include <asm/hwcap.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.


Note: electron31 is still building.


I'll also note that chromium got the same sort of error:

In file included from ../../third_party/unrar/google/unrar_wrapper.cc:13:
In file included from ../../third_party/unrar/src/rar.hpp:6:
../../third_party/unrar/src/os.hpp:167:10: fatal error: 'asm/hwcap.h' file not found
  167 | #include <asm/hwcap.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.


Note: ungoogled-chromium is still building, as is
iridium-browser .
