[Bug 2148301] Re: chmod/du crash on 32bit with "Value too large for defined data type"

Bug description:
  My strace color patch update build fails just on 32-bit archs during
  the finish step:

  amd64 good:

  colors/+build/32764083

  armhf bad: https://launchpad.net/~jj/+archive/ubuntu/lp2142281-strace-
