Really?? Well, yeah. There is FTBFS: - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FTBFS - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=FTBFS - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=440169&hide_resolved=1 I don's know what the best way would be to mark FTBFS bugs as ARM specific. But we sure rely on the packagers for fixing the build-issues for their package. Maybe there should be a FTBFS-ARM tracker-bug? > If build failures are now tracked as bugs, OpenOffice/LibreOffice would > probably be an important one to address sooner rather than later.

Yeah, thats an issue. I dont know if the arm.koji builders are any quicker? You might want to check out fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Package_Maintainers . However, if you build from the srpm you'll need to upload it, which is likely an other bottleneck for OO/LO.
