is SoC for microcontrollers and with BUGGY instructions for threading , not usable in any normal distribution -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quark#Segfault_bug
Compile glibc with -march=i486 which is indeed not a desired behavior, but with this done Opensuse 13.2 works fine on the Quark X1000 (Intel Galileo Board)! This could be done as a replacement for the normal glibc, to provide full featured distributions for such systems.
+ Bonus , all AMD64 cpus support 32bit x86 but nobody want support three architectures in one, 32bit , 64bit and x32 .. i too expensive without real benefits

Dsant, from France I'm confused where the expectation comes from that new modern operating systems should run on old obsolete hardware
32 bit hardware is no longer produced - this is the very definition of obsolete.
While it may not see wider use, there is x86 hardware produced which is 32-bit [1]. You can easily run new distributions on it and play with such systems.
Now we have clear indications that the use base of 32-bit Linux is reaching minimal levels, I really do not see the justification for the extra work that supporting the 32-bit intel architecture requires
