Well, let's see what I can do now. linux is not as locked down as macOS, and providing my own multilib gcc and libs should be trivial.
- _mlbt 1y agoIf you need 32 bit support, your best bets are going to be Windows or NetBSD. Most other OSes are phasing it out. Windows can't kill 32 bit support because even today a significant amount of software for the platform still depends on it, and that won't change any time soon. NetBSD won't kill it, because support for tons of architectures and platforms is pretty much the reason why it exists. It supports platforms far more exotic and obsolete than 32 bit x86.
