 Turns out LFS got broken some time in 2013 and

The fix is here:

There was test for this added to the test suite in the commit before

Guess I should release a new version soon.

I guess it doesn't happen that often that somebody needs audio

32bit architecture, while e.g. Ubuntu flavours will drop 32bit support
soon.
