32 bit is an architectural problem for OCaml. Specifically because of
how the GC block headers are implemented it limits arrays / strings to
a maximum of 4M entries / 4M bytes, which was probably fine back in
the day but is unreasonably small today. [1]
So if something OCaml-related fails on i686, it's not something we
should worry about. IMHO ExcludeArch %{ix86} and move on.
Rich.
[1] This is also the reason why multilib is completely irrelevant to OCaml
(and another reason why multilib should die).
