Older versions of various Linux distros were the same: they provided bith 32bit and 64bit binaries for reasons of compatibility. Now they only provide 64bit binaries. Illumos-based systems still provide both 32bit and 64bit binaries. I read somewhere that Solaris 11 does not supply 32bit binaries anymore. Maybe in the future, the people who are packaging OI will do the same.
