Your solution is better indeed. Thanks!

According to the CI, x86_64-linux and i686-linux are fixed now. aarch64-
linux failed but that’s because of a bug in QEMU. powerpc64-linux is 
scheduled to build but there’s a backlog in the CI for some reason.

No problem at all. Thank you for fixing this problem!
