If it's an upstream problem (as Tollef said, "Not only would you need a
different libc, you would have to have _all_ other libraries compiled
with this same other ABI. I suspect you would have to get support into
the kernel as well for it."), where's the best place to start filing
wishlist bugs for it? The gcc bugzilla? The glibc bugzilla? The kernel
bugzilla? Is this entirely impossible without hardware support from
Intel and AMD? (Given that the request is simply for the option to
compile some applications to use 32-bit pointers and be restricted to
4GB of address space, perhaps the problem can be solved at the virtual
memory level rather than requiring specialized hardware?)
