This happens to be the case with amd64/i386, but not always a cure for
other combinations (not quite sure if there are other combinations).

That said, it is important to prevent the potential 64-bit i-node
problem (although it's not widespread enough to be a problem today).

'cowdancer --update' to this new version will fail on i386 arches.
I'd expect quite a few bug reports and angry users.
