I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.  Linux and most other OSes
also still support i386 for the foreseeable future.

Just for the record, we don't intend to drop support for i386 in CHICKEN;
this just _adds_ support for x32, which itself is a mode that only works
on x86-64 CPUs and only on Linux (correct me if I'm wrong).
