It's a petty that x32 ABI didn't have acceptance within distros ...
perhaps don't want to maintain more then needed package version, that
is single one. All in all supporting 32 bits is merely compiling binary
not something one should do...
There is no 32 bit and 64 bit version of chromium I guess...
It would be really stupid to have that...
