Actually I added libc6-dev-i386 package and compiled with -m32.
I was considering exactly what you suggested but I recalled some
objections in the past. Today 64 bit computers are the norm. I don't
know if the binaries produced on a native 32 bit vs a -m32 system would
be the same. That does not really matter as we post source code and it
is up to the distro or final builder to decide how to do it.

You would not object to this patch then? The new code will not look
anything like the old one and it is not being used at all. 

Thanks!
