This is a well-known issue. Underlying prob is the random order of .o files in
the link command line, which, just bus a chance, resulted in i386 bullseye build
being broken. All it needs is a rebuild. I prepared a new bullseye release of
samba back in Apr (#1009726), it is waiting for the release team review.

For now you have a few options:

1. crossgrade to a 64bit system (you already know this one) - I highly
    suggest this anyway, unrelated to samba
2. install the bpo version of samba (4.16)
3. rebuild the bullseye version - just a rebuild, with a high probability,
    will get you a working samba
