Support for 32-bit Linux

[fjelliott]

The title says it all. I completely agree with people who say that 64-bit is superior to 32-bit, 64-bit systems can compile 32-bit code, etc. However, some of us just can't wave a wand and convert all of our systems to 64-bit. And compiling .rpm packages for 32-bit systems on a 64-bit system is...tricky. In any case, not allowing a 32-bit system to host an actions runner seems like a fairly easy problem to solve (for the same reasons as above).

I'd also ask for support for 32-bit Windows, but in light of recent news that might be rather pointless.

the runner is built on top of dotnet core which doesn't support x86 Linux, so I don't think we can easily achieve this.

I would suggest either try using qemu docker container to emulate x86 environment or SSH into an x86 environment during the job.

32-bit ARM would do…

https://github.com/marketplace/actions/setup-alpine-linux-environment can do that… it can even do i586 (it calls it arch: x86) without qemu, just in a chroot, so that suffices for me right now
