Yes, we might end up keeping x32 support, even if only as a poor cousin, for
this reason. We don't really know what the EOL is for 32-bit-only x86
processors and someone may care about targeting these low-end netbooks and
tablets at some point. Much easier to spruce up existing flagging x32
support than re-fit it from scratch.
