I read through that entire Debian issue and still haven't got a clue what 
the issue was. There seems to have been a lot of arguing there about whose 
fault this actually was. None of these people is a dummy, so I don't 
understand why they couldn't figure it out.

Anyway, x32 is not something I'm interested in supporting. It's great that 
GMP does, and some other software does, and Flint is moving towards 
supporting it. But it's not a priority.
