Hello.
We currently support (in some way) 32-bit systems. We avoid shipping
64-binaries in default path or use isaexec for such things.
But do we really need it? I haven't seen PC (not speaking about server)
without 64-bit CPU for at least 8 years.
Dropping support for 32-bit systems will allow us to port Oracle sources
easier. Potentially, this solves time_t overflow. We could think about
largefile support less.
What are the cons of keeping support for 32-bit systems? I don't see
much. If you see them, please, speak now.
I'm inclined to make changes, breaking 32-bit systems only after next
ISO snapshot. Of course, 32-bit libraries will be preserved.
