We are running exim on several virtual servers with 32-bit user spaces,
and I'm about to install another one as soon as I can. The latter is a P4
and I don't think it's possible to run a 64-bit OS on it.

We also usually teach Exim on 32-bit KVM virtual machines with 512 MB RAM
in AfNOG. This allows us to run a lot of virtual machines on a few Mac
Minis that are highly portable, but also forces us to be economical on
RAM.

I don't mind living with the performance hit of using long long
arithmetic, but it would affect us quite a lot if Exim no longer compiled
on these systems.

Cheers, Chris.
