That's an issue here for about 2 years.
I decided to install a 64bit-Kernel for my
32bit-Raspian – as it was called then – in order
to speed up ZFS check sum calculations.

Since than the build-systems tries to build a 32bit-VM with 64bit 
word-size. Luckily I still have a 32bit installation around.


Just my CHF 0.02,

Gerald
