Or we could not, and drop i686 completely.
If we drop glibc32, we can't build any 32-bit code at all because GCC
will no longer support -m32. In this regardm x86-64 is different than
the other Fedora architectures which can target bare metal 32-bit even
from 64-bit-only compilers.
Are bootloaders fully treated as firmware and no longer built by Fedora?
At least the shim package does not come with corresponding source code
AFAICS. But I expect that there are other 32-bit pre-boot packages that
we still rebuild.
We need to fix this GCC build issue for CentOS 10 eventually, and at
that point, we won't need glibc32 anymore. It's been a constant source
of annoyance.
Thanks,
