Based on my experience, rhel7 and centos7 DO support i686. epel has
a
whole bunch of ...-devel.i686 packages. I have been running wine 1.8
i686 on CentOS 7 for more than two years. I am attempting to build wine
3 from source and the epel src.rpm as I write this.
I guess the question really is... is 32 bit support included in the epel
binary rpm?
No, I looked. Here's a snippet from wine.spec hinting at it:
# x86-32 parts
%ifarch %{ix86} x86_64
%if 0%{?fedora} || 0%{?rhel} <= 6
Requires: wine-core(x86-32) = %{version}-%{release}
Requires: wine-capi(x86-32) = %{version}-%{release}
Requires: wine-cms(x86-32) = %{version}-%{release}
Requires: wine-ldap(x86-32) = %{version}-%{release}
Requires: wine-twain(x86-32) = %{version}-%{release}
Requires: wine-pulseaudio(x86-32) = %{version}-%{release}
Note, only included if rhel is <=6
Then I tried to tell you why (that rhel7 has no i686 edition and epel7 has
no i686 buildroot), but you didn't believe me. Suit yourself.
