The abuse-sdl package (along with dependent packages) has already been
removed from testing as a result of this bug.

Uploading a package that will FTBFS on 64-bit archs instead of building
broken packages is a reasonable fix for the release-criticality of this bug;
it also requires the approval/intervention of an ftp-master to remove the 

Once this is done the bug should be downgraded to important, which is the
normal severity for non-RC portability bugs.
