This would break release and all modules builds on i386.  Instead, disabling 
the module and making COMPAT_SVR4 is a better idea, which I have done.

SVR4 is broken in other ways and needs tending to, which I may do myself if 
I have enough time, but otherwise we shouldn't prevent an enterprising 
person from using COMPAT_SVR4 and fixing bugs, testing it, then submitting 
the fixes.
