I think that's a bad decision, but it is your's.
To me, either you support fully the 32-bit execution
environment or you do not. After all the work that
myself and others have done for other platforms, there
really is no need to cut corners in this area.
My userland on sparc64 is %100 32-bit and everything works
quite beautifully.
