That's true.

BTW, local npm installs seem to fail here (on i386) with anything 
needing node-gyp, like 'npm install node-stringprep':

$ npm install node-stringprep

/home/tpikonen/node_modules/node-stringprep
 > node-gyp rebuild

Segmentation fault

This is probably a different bug though.

Do you mean node-gyp? At least nodejs.org offers x86 downloads of node 
itself.
