If there is a build failure for a package on ELN, does anything need to

It varies wildly from package to package. Sometimes things can be handled with a spec file conditional, other times it may be more complicated (like the compiler flags for RHEL are revealing a coding bug that the Fedora flags happen to miss or optimize out).

reviewing a package where
there is a missing dependency, but helpful to also

A new package review shouldn’t be expected to build on ELN, and failing to do so shouldn’t block the review, in general. (Exception: a new package that is Obsoleting a package currently in ELN might need special handling).

know if anything
should be done in general. The documentation at [0] is not clear on
this.  Unclear also if ExcludeArch: ELN with a comment for the reason
for build failures on ELN would be a useful thing to have in new spec files.

ELN is not an arch, so that would have no effect whatsoever. ELN already only rebuilds packages that are needed by RHEL 10 or ELN-Extras packages. See https://tiny.distro.builders for the list.

Stephen is correct, ELN is not an arch, but there are some packages that do not build on all arches of ELN but do in rawhide.

The biggest one is golang.

I should have put this in the email.

If your package needs any golang package to build you should put in

ExclusiveArch:  %{golang_arches}
 

What package(s) are you having problems with?
