I'm trying to revive rpms/hadoop, but am running into some failures[1] on i686 in koji that I cannot reproduce locally in x86_64. The thing is... I don't really have any good 32-bit environment to test this locally. Hadoop isn't really suitable for 32-bit architectures (IMO) and I doubt it's a well-tested upstream arch.

Any suggestions for how I should proceed? Is it really necessary that *all* packages support i686 arch, even when it doesn't make sense for the application's users?
