Do you mean node-gyp? At least nodejs.org offers x86 downloads of node
itself.

No, i meant nodejs.
The debian package of nodejs, to be able to run on i686, need SSE2 (at least) which wasn't in the default set of features for the debian i386 port (last time i checked), and the v8 x87 port that would have allowed that has been abandonned upstream
some years ago.
Upstream nodejs is certainly using the "correct set of requirements", which unfortunately
does not always match the "set of features" of a given debian port.
What exact CPU you're using might give more or less good results...

I see.

This has nothing to do with this bug anymore, but is there any way to get node working on Debian with a relatively recent i686 processor? (I have SSE2 in my HW, for example, and I get a segfault) If not, what is the point of Debian i386 node packages?

Best,
Teemu
