That's fair, though I'm not aware of a way to specify "only 64-bit
architectures" in the Architecture: field short of explicitly listing
them, so perhaps it's better to mark this bug as wontfix and let 32-bit
builds keep failing -- snap-aligner's source and its build dependencies
are all at least fairly lightweight.

With my proposed logic, snap-aligner compiles without errors on i386.
However, it then encounters two test-suite failures, both in EventTest:

  EventTest:
  - many waiters: [FAILED]
      *variable was 4, expected 16: many started 16

      (tests/EventTest.cpp:40)
  - single waiters: [FAILED]
      *variable was 0, expected 1: single started 1

      (tests/EventTest.cpp:40)

  7 / 9 tests passed.

Also, there are some warnings along the way about mismatched printf
specifiers.

BTW, never mind what I said about kfreebsd-i386, which failed in the
same fashion as i386 and x32, not as kfreebsd-amd64.
