1) This isn't critical - if you want something fixed then you should at least
be polite and don't think about your little corner only.
Critical would be something minimal not building, for example a basic root
filesystem with just busybox with a default configuration.
Iptables is just one package among many, and the failure is a subset of the
functionality of iptables on a subset of many architectures.

2) This is an upstream bug, unless there's a patch or knob to signal the
iptables build about mixed 64/32 kernel/userland (which was present several
releases ago IIRC) or fixing this issue then there's nothing we can do on our
side alone - you should contact the netfilter devels about this issue since
it's a bug.
