Hi Flow, I went ahead and started reviewing this bug for the remaining 
arches.  However when I ran it, I discovered that tests do not seem to run on 
the 2023 version, where they were previously being run on the 2021 version.  
In particular, I was trying to identify if https://bugs.gentoo.org/802672 was 
still present or not.  Are there any extra steps needed in order to get tests 
to run on the 2023 version?  If this could be looked at I can definitely get 
the remaining arches keyworded.
