Is 32-bit officially not supported?

This is just for clarification from a package maintainer's point of view.

-m64 seems to be hardcoded in setup.py:

32bit Pythons are now officially unsupported, yes. I'm sorry if this is inconvenient, but there was no way to provide our own linear algebra kernels and support 32-bit Pythons; and we need to supply our own linear algebra kernels to avoid breaking multi-processing across platforms.

Thanks for the confirmation.
