There is already a Steam flatpak based on freedesktop-sdk, which builds
just enough i686 stuff for Steam to work.
And I thought Wine can run 32-bit Windows applications against 64-bit
system libraries these days? Or at least it's getting there. Then
Wine
wouldn't be a reason to keep 32-bit builds around.
