Sorry I took so long. Vacation... =o)

So, you already put it in there? Thanks.

I think we might have a catch 22 on our hands. The reason it fails is
that the eppic library doesn't get built with -m32, but if we start by
modifying the eppic git the build will fail because eppic is 32 bit
and the crash extension is 64 bit. I've attached the change I made to
the eppic git.
