Is anyone using the Bitcoin Core Gitian binaries on 32-bit Linux?

[darosior]

Bitcoin-core team is considering dropping support for 32-bit x86 Linux Bitcoin binaries.
I'm just relaying here in case someone who's not subscribed to the bitcoin-core-dev mailing list is still relying on it.

Quote from MarcoFalke's mail to the list:

Now that other major software projects and operating systems dropped
support for 32-bit Linux, is there anyone still using the statically
compiled i686 Linux gitian binaries?

None of the developers are running 32-bit Linux on a daily basis, and
testing is getting harder as neither Ubuntu, nor latest Fedora have
32-bit releases of their operating system.

Unless someone requires the gitian binaries, I'd suggest to drop them.
If anyone remains on a 32-bit Linux platform, they can build (and
test!, with `make check` and `./test/functional/test_runner.py`) from
source. This is even possible on systems with less then 1GB of RAM,
see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md#memory-requirements
and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/17504

They already did that for Windows 32-bit so I guess this was expected.

From when they ditched Win32: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5139689.msg50915664#msg50915664

Why ? It's just becoming obsolete (note that binaries for other 32bit architectures (like ARM) are still published).
