Thanks for the report!

I have run it on x86_64 with `kcbench -m ...` and no failures.

Can you share all build errors you found so far? I believe none of them related
to x86* code.

Above just revealed the problematic places in the first place. Why the
programmers rely on delay.h to include full bloated header pile?! (Yeah, this
is rhetorical, so please share the errors, I'll try to address them)
