Hi Guus, could you have a look at this please?

It looks like it is due to a regression in glm introduced in 0.9.8.3 
compared to 0.9.8.1. The CMake detection works correctly for amd64 but 
not i386.

The bug only shows up now because src:forge used to silently download a 
copy of glm if a system version were not found. I have corrected this 
behaviour and pushed a new version of the packaging, which now triggers 
the CMake detection problem.
