I am (at least partially) responsible for that build environment.

We only started getting that build failure with next-20101115 (it may
have been present before then but masked by other build failures), and
our build system hasn't changed in quite some time ...  In fact, before
next-20100915, the um i386 build used to succeed.

The build we are doing is 32 bit (not 64 bit).  We are in the process of
getting a newer tool chain, but I am not sure when that will happen.
