I disagree that it is just adding noise to the thread: it may well
explain why we have outliers regarding the reports concerning
architecture: having a different problem responsible there is clarifying
things.

I hear your frustration and will be running a staging pass presently.
Sorry for the bad situation.  I am currently rewriting LilyPond's
translators in order to make them better debuggable and the code more
straightforward.

I have to see whether I have a chance to run a 64 bit kernel on my
system: I used to for a few years (and consequently was able to look at
64 bit code), but the current laptop has an Nvidia card and Ubuntu's
kernel/library setup did not manage to integrate the Nvidia proprietary
driver stuff into a 64 bit kernel running on a 32bit userland and the
free drivers did not work reasonably.  Maybe the situation has improved.
