Ok...fixed those so that they should read i386 (and other archs') gnucash
files.  It was a super simple patch that just basically ousted any "long
int" types and busted them down to "int" (since sizeof(int) = sizeof(long
int) on 32-bit archs).  I have no idea why they used "long int" to begin
with...makes no sense to me...

The final patch is ready once we figure out if this deb actually will read
i386 stuff or not (don't have an i386 to test this with).
