I'm afraid that I already removed i686 support from antlr4-project
last night. In any case, it wouldn't have done you any good if I
hadn't, as the antlr4 package would have been uninstallable on i686
due to the lack of a JDK. And even if you had suppressed that
BuildRequires on i686, it still wouldn't have done you any good,
because then you would have had a parser that didn't match its
runtime, causing it to break if you tried to actually run the code.
There were no good options, so I chose the one that seemed least
harmful to me. The golang stack would have been broken no matter
what. I don't think anybody realized that would be a consequence of
dropping the i686 JDKs, but here we are.
