thunderbird crashes on startup on default Debian Mate platform

[ndp]

I've have received a response from the lead thunderbird on Debian armhf developer:

Hello Nigel,

thunderbird crashes every time on start-up regardless of whether started
from a launcher or from the command line.

This happens on a laptop with a Rockchip RK3399 hexacore ARM cpu with
4GB of RAM

Several other people have confirmed the same issue.

unfortunately there isn't much I can do here.
Within recent versions of Thunderbird the armhf buildd's are not able to
build thunderbird packages any more on armhf because of an linking issue
due out of memory.

I don't have the time and knowledge how this can be fixed. I decided to
remove armhf for now from the supported list of build platforms to not
stuck on package migrations to testing as armhf is still a RC platform.

I'm open for patches that fix the linking issue on armhf. If TB 68 can
be build successful on armhf again I'll re-enable this platform happily.
