fix some string comparisons made for py2. In py3 we read bytes, not str, so decode bytes to str before comparison. Remove mason2 tests as upstream skip them if gcc > 10 (in develop branch)
use alignment-safe buffer handling. Currently we are using assignment to copy the contents of a variable of arbitrary type into a buffer, but this is not portable because the buffer address may not be aligned. Use memcpy() instead, which should be comparable performance ut alignment-safe.
Skip some architectures + Seqan app combinationsCould be a bug in gcc or seqan, but the memory requirements on mips{,el} to compile three of the apps balloons beyond 14GiB, so skip them
If you update this patch (add/remove an architecture/app combo), then update debian/README.Debian
