The upstream maintainer, Simon Thatam, noticed this build problem and brought a fix in this commit:
https://git.tartarus.org/?p=simon/puzzles.git;a=commit;h=907c42bcf0f06826279d5be91be7f7f9c45876d9
Note that it fuzzes with the current 20170606.272beef-1 version
of the package, so I took the liberty to test out the patch here
below. But I suspect that a better approach would be to upgrade
to the latest version of the Portable Puzzle Collection.
This is yet to be tested on 263-bit int platform. ;)
