Thanks for the quick reply.

My 64 bit build machine has the ia32-libs package installed and
/usr/include/gnu/stubs-32.h exists.  Any idea why the initial clean
build succeeds, but the rebuild triggered by the pull fails?

Could you give me a pointer on how to "fix" my compiler to allow for
32-bit userspace builds?

Thanks!
