Not under OpenBSD i686.

Also, the more heterogeneous it's a CPU architecture support, the least exploitable a service will be.

See? This is exactly my point. The last 32-bit only Intel CPUs were the original Intel Core series. Core 2 was already 64-bit, and it was released in 2006.

i686 should have died a long, long time ago.

No, the last 32-bit-only Intel CPUs were Atom models in ... I think we decided 2011 last time this came up.
