It used to be that i386 tolerated certain text relocations; therefore
sometimes legacy build systems only insert them for amd64. Since the
package works on amd64, checking for such behavior would be a good
bet.

A quick glance through suggests that any such problem is in dune
rather than the ocaml-cairo package itself. Do other dune-driven ocaml
packages work?

(also, the most effective workaround is probably to disable PIEs in pkgsrc)
