suggestion(non-blocking): I would prefer using a spec-search-replace to change %setup to %autosetup so we don't have to remember to do these manual patches in the future.
Definitely non-blocking though.

Updated to use %autosetup
Backport upstream host bit-width detection to prevent forthstrap pointer truncation on aarch64 and riscv64 builders. Remove the x86_64-only workaround, use %autosetup, and track the rebuild with azl_release.
