"For instance, rust cannot even compile itself on i386 at present time because it exhausts the address space."
I don't want to be harsh, but who the hell is compiling anything on i386 now? Real question, is anyone even making fresh i386 hardware that might be used by consumers, or deployed in datacentres?
- darksaints 7y agoOpenBSD is. Just because you can't think of a use case doesn't mean they don't exist.
- hkt 7y agoI'm asking about the quality of the reason. Is there a real reason to not cross compile in 2020?
- darksaints 7y agoWell, they're still supporting i386 releases, which means that there are still i386 users out in the wild that aren't willing to upgrade their hardware.
