[snip] I believe i586 should be left for old distros. At best give support, and some backports when applicable, and if there are users.
But x32 may be a good plus for OpenMandriva. For the "best cases", like lots of integer and pointer arithmetic, I have seen reports of up to 40% improvement on some benchmarks. x32 should also use quite less memory on very complex programs, with very large amounts of relocations, etc. I think firefox or chromium could run and load faster. Quick googling appears llvm and clang support x32, but there may be issues, like not having a flash plugin.
