The problem has been flagged many times. No decision has ever been taken.
Having a recurring bug like this one where it is a matter of either fixing it
or removing it shouldn't stay forever opened. When I closed it, because I had a
workaround, I was considering the silence on this bug and the other similar
ones as "WONTBEFIXED".

I'd be glad to either see it being fixed or dumped. As you say, if
--enable-32-bit is not working as intended for anybody, then it is misleading
and useless, thus it should be removed. In the Doc, we could indicate the
"workaround" (which is not a workaround per-se because it is actually the
detailed way of doing it instead of relying on an automated flag like
"--enable-32-bit").

We even have an almost (yet simple) patch proposed that only needs a little fix
as it seems.
