It compiles fine on my machine, which is a normal ix86 machine.  And it
apparently compiles fine under amd64, too.  (Although ffcall does seem
to have some problems with amd64 -- #451356.)

Is building in an i386 chroot on and amd64 a "normal" configuration that
we are supposed to be supporting?  i.e. if it only fails in that
configuration, should this bug be "serious" or "important"?

/me considers, again, whether to just give up on ffcall, and switch to
libffi...
