I think that there are some problems with packages that rely on assembly
code (as there would have x32 specific assembly) so you get either
unoptimised binarys (if assembly is just for performance reasons) or
compilation will fail at all.
That was the reasoning why it's ten years too late (back then the same
problem existed with x86_64 - the asm needed to be ported).
