Note that I don't actually care about using these binaries, I use them only to run the test suite for various projects in order to find implicit 64 bit assumptions in code, such as incorrect use of int instead of size_t. One day maybe 32 bit will be completely dead (like 16 bit) and I won't care about this. (2) To run some 32 bit binaries. This is getting rare now since I got rid of rubbish like Webex from my life, but happens occasionally. (3) Needed by Wine (?) I understand from existing conversations that 32 bit Wine needs the *.i686 packages. I use Wine quite a bit to test Windows cross-compiled builds, so I guess I'm using this.
