Oh, I think I know what the issue may be. I just tested building Elks in a 32
bit Ubuntu chroot (much quicker then a VM.) It seems something that there
are assumptions that the environment is 32 bit. I'd guess it's probably
./arch/i86/tools/build.c that's making assumptions someplace it shouldn't
about the size of int, char, long, etc. For now I guess setup a 32 bit system
(VM or chroot should both work fine), or if you're feeling ambitious, you can
try tackling the issue in that's probably in the file I mentioned.
