On the userland side, there is some good progress of using thunking to run 32-bit Windows programs in Wine on Linux without the need for 32-bit libraries (the only edge case remaining is thunking 32-bit OpenGL which is lacking needed extensions for acceptable performance). But the same can't be said for a bunch of legacy 32-bit native Linux stuff like games which commonly have no source to rebuild them.

May be someone can develop such thunking for legacy Linux userland.
