Perhaps we don=E2=80=99t see the problem when running i686 code on x86_64.

Could you first check if there=E2=80=99s a simple way to reproduce it on yo=
ur
machine?  For example, run =E2=80=9Cguix build coreutils=E2=80=9D or =E2=80=
=9Cguix build
coreutils --check=E2=80=9D and see if that fails.

If it does, you could arrange to test the patch just in this setup.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
