I agree with this analysis. I confirm it doesn't build either on
eller.d.o and from what I have been able to start debugging with GDB, it
rather looks like some bug in the 32-bit support. There is something
wrong in htslib or the cython code which doesn't convert C struct into
Python struct correctly.

I therefore also suggest to downgrade the severity of this bug, maybe
also retitling it to say it fail to all 32-bit architectures.
