Hi,
We would like to remove the 32 bit x86/generic target. The target is
still working, but we could save some build resources.
See this PR: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/14944
Who is still using the x86/generic target? If you are still using it
what is your use case?
We would keep the x86/64 target which is used on recent x86_64 systems
and x86_64 cloud systems.
We would also keep the x86/legacy and the x86/geode target. We can
activate some extra kernel build options if it can not replace
x86/generic with the current configuration.
The x86/generic target is compiled with Intel Pentium 4 optimizations.
It will not work on older systems. The x86/legacy and x86/geode target
are compiled for the Intel Pentium MMX CPU.
