I'm not sure I'm clear on this.  Yes, Core 2 Duo's run either 64 or 32 bit 
code.  Linus thinks everybody runs 64-bit code.  I've gotten the impression 
from the KPTI thing early in the year that kernel devs aren't spending much 
time at all on 32-bit code in the kernel.  I've been hoping for KPTI mitigation 
for 32-bit kernels, but mostly have lost hope.

So to be clear, are we talking here about running 4.17 in 32-bit mode, or just 
on a Core-2 Duo, which LFS would build in 64-bit mode "unless steps were taken" 
(gmp, et al)?
