I'm dropping this bug's severity to wishlist as Trilinos last built on
32-bit architectures in 2010 [1], before the Kokkos package was
introduced.  These binaries are not in testing and therefore should
not prevent Trilinos from migrating.

The build was also successful on armhf, but still fails on
architectures without '__sync_val_compare_and_swap_8'.  There's a GCC
bug [2] requesting an implementation, however it has been closed
WONTFIX.  Before you reassign this bug to gcc in Debian, there seems
to be a workaround mentioned in that bug which I intend investigating
when I have some time to spend on a porterbox, probably after the
openmpi transition.

We have opened a PR [3] with upstream, in the hopes that we can work
together on a solution.
