Well, it's possible to do it but it's not easy --- you need to deal with the fact that the configure-generated headers should be different for the different arches. There were some discussions in -hackers last year about how to do it.
The reported location of the error is not code that I would expect to be subject to architectural issues, though, so I suspect this isn't immediately relevant.
