The only one I came across was Debian. The machine itself was 64-bit but 
our legacy code was 32-bit, as was Esri's ArcObjects. I think Ubuntu 18.04 
was the last release where you had a prayer of finding 32-bit Motif 
libraries and others. It's all fine to pass the 32-bit flag to gcc but if 
you can't link the libs you're done.
