Hi, I saw this pop up on #debian-devel-changes due to my sparc64 highlight. It's because upstream is stupid and doesn't know how to detect bitness without hard-coding every possible architecture in a big list in the preprocessor. Something like [0] is needed for sparc64 (defined(__sparc__) && defined(__arch64__)). Why do we still have to deal with this kind of junk in 2017...
