ok, I checked the server again and the mystery is solved. Originally I
checked only

$ uname -m
x86_64

but I missed `dpkg` platform which is strangely 32bit

$ dpkg-architecture
DEB_BUILD_ARCH=i386
DEB_BUILD_ARCH_BITS=32

So all binaries are 32bit including self-compiled GRASS. Sorry for
noise! I was using 32bit binaries...

Thanks for all the comments, Martin
