I suspect this would be normal, as the i386 arch has not changed 
over to *always* being 64-bit time_t or LFS.

If programs need these flags, there are AFAIK two options:

1) it can be shown that the flags work and cause no data corruption 
on i386, then the programs need to pass the flags in their (Debian) build 
scripts

2) they can be removed from i386.

Best,
Chris (not the autoconf maintainer)
