Probably not, but this issue is quite weird, there are many others *32
man pages that are just simple links, and they all work fine.
$ zcat /usr/share/man/man2/geteuid32.2.gz
.so man2/geteuid.2
$ zcat /usr/share/man/man2/getgid32.2.gz
.so man2/getgid.2
$ zcat /usr/share/man/man2/getgroups32.2.gz
.so man2/getgroups.2
...

Yet, only geteuid32 is broken. Very weird.
