NetBSD runs on a bunch of 32 bit-only hosts (sparc32, ppc32, armv7, vax,
mips32 etc.) that all run Qemu fine. They are all actively maintained and
released as part of the main releases.

Maintaining 32 bit host support is thus vital for those machines; not everyone
runs a 64 bit system.

with regards,
Reinoud Zandijk,
NetBSD developer.
