NetBSD runs on a bunch of 32 bit-only hosts (sparc32, ppc32, armv7, vax,
mips32 etc.) that all run Qemu fine. They are all actively maintained and
released as part of the main releases.
Are you sure about that? TCG doesn't support sparc32 or vax.
I suppose you could be using TCI, but I can't even imagine how
slow that would be on vax.
