MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for glibc-x32-seed [2]:
Please delete libx32- and -x32 AUR packages:
• Packages have not been updated in 6 years or more.
• In case of libx32- packages, naming violates Arch guidelines*. Name
should end with '-x32', not start with 'libx32-'.
• Most such packages cannot be built because of already dropped
dependencies.
• Even if built, X32 executables won't work with any mainstream
kernels from any distros. Only on kernels custom-built with niche x32
ABI support.
• Whoever wants to use such a special architecture would not be able
to use it from unbuildable, unmaintained 6-year old build scripts from
the AUR. But they could use Debian x32 or build Gentoo from scratch
for the x32 ABI.
