I did not, but I also didn't introduce downstream patches specific to
those architectures. (Someone sent the analogous change upstream and
it was merged; I don't know what level of testing it had, but its
integration was not my responsibility, so if it gives someone regressions
those regressions are also not my fault.)

I am currently rebasing the patches from ioquake3 PR #129, which will
make src:openarena attempt to compile on m68k (and on assorted new
architectures as and when they're created) without actually containing
anything m68k-specific. I think that will solve this bug in a way that
is acceptable to both of us.

(Unfortunately ioquake3's Makefile has Unix line endings and openarena's
Makefile has DOS line endings, so this is a more annoying rebase than
I had anticipated.)
