Hum, I can't think of anything on top of my head. I just tried to recompile it 
every way I could think of. I will need to take a look at the debian/* files, 
and see if I can fix anything.

dependencies are the same as on my work computer (x86).

You just got dpkg giving errors, that's all. The files seem to be the same ones. 
Maybe just removing it from liboaf-dev file listing, and wait till it is fixed 
upstream.
