Turns out those "other 32-bit architectures" happen to include i386.

A modular build:

ERROR: "__udivdi3" [fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko] undefined!

With the patch, i386 builds fine.

Looks like current -next is pretty broken: while amd64 is ok, on an i386 box
(non-NX Pentium 4) it hangs very early during boot, way before filesystem
modules would be loaded.  Qemu boots but has random hangs.

So it looks like it's compile only for now...
