Unfortunately, upstream doesn't really notice if 32-bit x86 breaks. This isn't just a kernel problem; glibc managed to push out a release back in 2017 that broke memchr on 32-bit Atom in a way that tended to cause programs calling it to segfault. It turns out that amongst a few other things, including Python, the glibc build process itself relies on memchr working... I don't think they actually tested the code path in question after modifying it.
