Right, it builds fine on i386 but there's the appropriate lintian error
which would get it rejected.

I followed-up with upstream about inchi - I think it should be generally
linked in statically as it is a foreign library, but no reaction over
the weekend yet.

I treid to figure out an elegant way to build with -fPIC but did not
manage so far - if no consensus is reached with upstream we will have to
hack up something.
