Hi Developers,

This is a simple survey about how many developers still want to use 32bit Linux 
for development.

Currently, platform development tools(gbs/mic) support 32bit/64bit on the 
following 9 distributions:

* Ubuntu 13.04
* Ubuntu 12.10
* Ubuntu 12.04
* openSUSE 12.3
* openSUSE 12.2
* openSUSE 12.1
* Fedora 19
* Fedora 18
* CentOS 6

32bit qemu does not works well while building special packages, such as eglibc. 
Besides this, the maintenance and testing for each platform is a very time 
consuming work, so if we drop the possible seldom used 32bit platforms' 
support, the update of tools will be much more agile.

As Tizen will support 64bit build in the future, which can only be built by 
using 64bit system, so it's recommended to switch to 64bit system ASAP.

Now we will do the survey before our final decision.

We will collect the survey and send out it, which is the basis for our decision 
to dropping 32bit Linux support

Thanks
Qiang
