Well, restricting it to all the 32bit archs, presumably. I don't think
that's necessarily a problem given it's not been released on other archs
yet, so it's not a regression. I definitely think that at this point the
options are 'drop completely' and 'drop from 64bit archs' and the latter
is clearly preferable (of course if people think it's just generally
bad, then dropping completely is reasonable)

I assume this has been forwarded upstream?
