Yeah, as someone casually following the Doom community, that has been the plan for some time. I usually just watch this repo occasionally from afar since I started trying out Void Linux on my laptop, but as a GZDoom user (albeit in another distro), I saw this PR and I wanted to give some more context.

In particular, see this commit and the comments below it: https://github.com/ZDoom/gzdoom/commit/8c244f6f850eeb5a5dede7f887f3f1ba87b3d8bc

A few years ago, there was a thread about 32-bit support here in which many users think that 32-bit is dead: https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?p=1134388

Thus, if one uses a 32-bit build of GZDoom and problems happen, they should not expect support from upstream. The hardware requirements for GZDoom have always been steadily increasing throughout the years (one notable example is dropping OpenGL 2.1 support many years ago), and this is just another example of it.
