It's not a big deal, but we're using gcc -m32 as a convenient way to
check that various packages still build on 32-bit (as part of CI).
The aim is to catch 32/64-bit assumptions in C code.  Example
regression found recently:

As 32-bit becomes less and less relevant the problem will naturally
solve itself, so I'm not greatly worried by this, but it might be nice
to keep smaller, pure C libraries building.
