Subject: [bitcoin-core-dev] Is anyone using the Bitcoin Core Gitian binaries on 32-bit Linux?

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,

and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/17504
