If we drop glibc32, we can't build any 32-bit code at all because GCC
will no longer support -m32. In this regardm x86-64 is different than
the other Fedora architectures which can target bare metal 32-bit even
from 64-bit-only compilers.
Are bootloaders fully treated as firmware and no longer built by Fedora?
At least the shim package does not come with corresponding source code
AFAICS. But I expect that there are other 32-bit pre-boot packages that
we still rebuild.
There's shim-unsigned* which is built in Fedora, the output of those
are sent off to be signed and then the signed binaries are put into
the final shim packages which don't have source code but they are
still built on Fedora with the source, just in a two step process due
to the out of band signing.
