We also have experienced this segfault in Kali while trying to build a
package on .

I'm wondering why this bug was not forwarded upstream?

I know that linux 32 bit is no longer officially supported by
upstream, but are they rejecting bug reports?

It seems that "unofficial builds" are still made and thus bug
reports and fixes are likely accepted, though not handled with
any priority I guess. That would still give more visibility to this issue.

I'm also wondering why i386 and armel are treated differently, given that
both are unsupported upstream (in Debian, i386 is still built, but armel
is no longer built).
