I don't recall seeing anything related to 32-bit ARM, but perhaps it's 
all in areas I don't see (like compiler and gc).

Sorry I was mis-remembering. Of course C1 and Minimal still exist in the 
32-bit code. Though I would be concerned that with a focus on 64-bit it 
will be easy for engineers to overlook things that should be inside one 
of the INCLUDE_XXX guards. (Particularly as we don't do any 32-bit 
builds and for the most part don't even have the capability to perform 
them.)

Cheers,
David
