Don't skip. There's nothing in the build that you don't need.

The problem seems to be that you've somehow built some packages with one architecture (the choices being 
x86_64 and i386) and are trying to build later packages with the other one. The easiest thing to do is to 
delete /Users/simonmartin/gtk and start over.
