Bug#1061468: gloo: attempts to build on unsupported 32 bit systems

Why?  Which problem are you trying to solve?  Doing such change will
fail to automatically discover if gloo start working on other
architectures, and require extra work to keep the list of architectures
up to date as Debian evolves.  As far as I can see, the disadvantage of
trying to build on non-supported architectures is a few wasted CPU
cycles, while the advantage is less human time spent on package
maintenance.  Did I miss something?  To me, saving humans time is more
valuable than saving CPU time.
