I guess I'm going to do that for now.

Oops, just noticed that i386 never built in the first place, and the
patches addressed getting the currently out-of-date builds on armel and
mipsel to work. I can confirm from builds on porterboxes that these now
finish, so I'm going to upload a new bcftools 1.4.1 version with the
patches but leave the bug (#868958) open since not all 32-bit archs are
building yet.

OK with everyone?

Cheers
