Hopefully not long :-)
What's the benefit of running 32-bit x86 instead of 32-bit x32? Unless you're
trying to target devices with no 64-bit capability (like older desktops or
early Atoms), I can't think of any. But there are plenty of drawbacks,
starting with the number of registers and the calling convention.
