With the current way packages are built, i.e. natively on the same architecture, I don't see 32-bit architectures being able to survive more than 2 more release cycles. Even with LTS and extended LTS, this is still far from 2038. The toolchain on 32-bit architectures reaches the 4GB address space limit more and more often and people have to deploy tricks to workaround that. We might want to use cross-compilers on those architectures, but nowadays it's much more than only GCC. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
