So this is a bit confusing, if you look at the output, you specified you
wanted the 64-bit binaries to be built and the 32-bit binaries are being
built as well. But your env doesn't appear to have the 32-bit
requirements. I guess you can install those 32-bit prereqs to satisfy
the build. I'm trying remember my libhuge history, but I don't think the
tests were ever meant to be built only 64-bit. They could be built only
32-bit (I think), but if you built 64-bit, 32-bit was also tested. I
might be wrong, I will try to look at the source a little later.

FWIW, yes, filled with spam and very idle, but I think technically still
active. No guarantees, although if you send a message there and I see
it, I will respond immediately so you'll know it got through.
