"Building" as a w-b state means that the package has been taken by a buildd
for building. You would only see other visible evidence of a build attempt
if the buildd had taken the package for building, attempted to build it, and
then sent a build log (success or failure) back to buildd.debian.org. There
is of course a possibiilty that the process will stop at any point before
buildd.d.o receiving the build log.
Anyway, it's pretty clear that there's been a mass give-back of packages
on i386, which indicates that getting the packages built is being worked on.

Well, the person who can fix this is Ryan Murray, whom you cc:ed on your
last message; but I'm quite certain he's aware of the state of the i386
buildd since he's the local admin for it /and/ the buildd admin for the
arch, so I trust that what can be done to get it back up is being done.
