Turning abi_x86_32 on/off in a global scale is a decision to be made by |
| 17 |
the user. With all consequences (initial compile time vs recompiles on |

[And I seriously doubt that any user has the patience to watch us |

migrate the tree on a per-request basis. Let's be honest then and |
| 25 |
abandon it. -- not my standpoint, under given circumstances of |
| 26 |
ready-to-use implementation.] |
