Should we finally ditch the 32-bit build of dmd?

At one point, Intel did release a low power 32 bit chip for embedded systems 
that benefited quite a bit from the Pentium scheduler, as that chip had 
sacrificed its own internal scheduler.

Besides, the bugs have been sorted out from that scheduler long ago. It's not 
impairing anyone.
