Why isn't Fenix built for AMD64?

Fenix is a dependency of the games PIX Frogger and PIX Bros (package pixfrogger, pixbros). But these games can't be installed on an AMD64 install of Trisquel, or any Debian-based distribution, because Fenix isn't built for AMD64, only i386. Why is this?

See e.g. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=456037. The
package is old (added to Debian in 2007 with no newer release), it makes
non-portable assumptions that prevent it from working on 64-bit systems.

I figured it must be something like that. Thanks for the answer!
