On x86_64-linux you can run 32-bit binaries. On powerpc64le-linux you can't.
It's that simple. -m32 support in powerpc64le gcc, by default, doesn't make
sense until we have
- supported and tested compat layer in the kernel
- supported and tested gcc, binutils and glibc
We might even want to change the 32-bit ABI for powerpcle.
The change I made wasn't "just to be able to omit" --disable-multilib. It was
also to fix the wrong default of enabling -m32 support in powerpc64le gcc.
Another data point: llvm doesn't support -m32
