sane-backends currently doesn't build with the ADI external toolchains, due to an internal compiler failure. However, using the internal toolchain backend for Blackfin goes past this internal compiler failure, but raises the problem that sane-backends uses fork(). Sane-backends has a --enable-pthreads option that allows to use threads instead of forking in some parts of sane, but there are still some other areas of sane-backends that continue to use fork(). Since the probability of using sane-backends on a noMMU system is fairly small, we'll just disable this package for now on such architectures, until someone cares enough to investigate deeper.
