[FEATURE REMOVAL v6.0.0] Make 32-bit platforms a configure error
We officially stopped supporting 32-bit platforms about 1 year ago, and we currently have no CI or test systems setup for this platform. The suggestions is to make 32-bit platforms a configure time error, such that we won’t even try to compile. For a deprecation time, the suggestion is also to add a new configure option to 6.0.0, which will be removed at a future major release. The new option would be e.g.
—enable-32bit-platforms
There’s no guarantee that this will work, but we will accept 32-bit fixes going forward, and use the option above for those builds. Developers are not required to assure 32-bit support going forward, and if we end up in a situation where we can not support 32-bit again, we will remove this option.
The Jira for this is
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-3537
Unless we hear otherwise within 1 week, this will be implemented for 6.0.0.

No objections have been made to this, so we will proceed with this proposal.
