I would *very strongly* prefer people not to do sponsored binary uploads, ever. At least with sponsored source uploads it's possible to audit what the non-developer has done. The build failure seems to be on i386. If it's really just a transient failure on the autobuilder (and be very sure that this has been fully diagnosed before uploading yourself, otherwise we're just setting ourselves up for problems the next time there's a sourceful upload), surely we can't possibly have a shortage of developers with i386 systems to do this build?
