If gnat-16 is broken on 32 bit architectures and unfixable, then the package and its reverse dependencies need to be removed from the 32 bit architectures first. Please remove the moreinfo tag once this is resolved -- either by gnat-16 being fixed or the binary packages removed. Cheers -- Sebastian Ramacher
