Details about how the build fails on 32-bit systems would have been welcome
in the commit message. Anyway:

For the record, here's the failure.  It's the usual incomprehensible
C++ error reporting.  :-)

Thanks Ted for having provided the full compiler output. However, I don't
think that the entire error message should go in the commit message. To me,
the part of the compiler error message I cited tells the whole story :-)
