Hi,

Technically, it is not a build failure. The build works, but the process is
aborted due to a test failure. There is something wrong in the source code,
which causes the test to not pass. In the best-case scenario, it's a bug
that only affects non-x86 platforms, and in the worst-case scenario, it's
an error that exists on all platforms, but it is not exploited by the x86
compiler.

I'll try to take a look at the code to see if I can identify the problem,
but perhaps we should open an issue with the creator. I've had similar
problems in C++ due to headers that change between different compilers. One
example that comes to mind is the abs(float) function in C++, which is
defined in some compilers and others uses a version for integers instead of
floats if you don't include cmath. The code, as in this case, may still
compile, but the results will differ. But those errors are difficult to
detect and require debugging the program. That's why I would first try to
have the author do it, indicating that the tests fail on X architecture,
and then act according to their instructions.
