Keeping in mind that I am new to this arena... I have some Intel systems - both 64-bit and 32-bit - that I might be able to use as build platforms.

I can't guarantee they'll be FAST, but I'll do what I can to make them EFFECTIVE. --J Sent from my mobile device. ________________________________ From: Jeffrey Walton <noloa...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2024 09:48 To: debian-ker...@lists.debian.org; debian-...@lists.debian.org; debian-de...@lists.debian.org; debian-release@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Ability to further support 32bit architectures On Thu, Jan 11, 2024 at 5:45 AM Bastian Blank <wa...@debian.org> wrote: > > On Thu, Jan 11, 2024 at 09:48:34AM +0000, Dimitri John Ledkov wrote: > > Disabling debug symbols, enabling debug symbol zstd compression, using > > split debug symbols (disabled BTF usage) should help here. > > Okay, maybe more workarounds exist.
