sdk does test against it, the main rationale for dropping it was 08-wasm and wasmVM which flat out doesn't support it, since that will be separate go mod though we could still keep it for ibc-go. Either way, fine with dropping it.

I'm slightly in favour of closing this PR after hearing @DimitrisJim

thanks for this @faddat! but i guess I don't really see why keeping arm32 support in for our code/framework is necessarily a bad thing at this point, there hasn't been a huge increased overhead for our team i think. support just closing this PR!

Soooooo

+1 to @DimitrisJim -- I knew about this issue due to years of trying to run tendermint on raspberry pi while those were 32 bit or were 64 bit but had only 32 bit oses.

I suppose that if we can get a build running with 32 bit, then we are all set. To my knowledge, we will run into arm and 32 bit issues with wasmvm in our stack now.

Feel free to close, if desired to close though.

Closing for now since the SDK does test against it. Wasm is not a requirement for ibc-go. We can reopen if SDK stops testing against this or it causes us other problems.
