Windows-x86 (32-bit) build is broken. Time to retire it?

I just built windows-x86, and noticed that the build is broken:

src\hotspot\share\prims\downcallLinker.cpp(36): error C2373: 
'DowncallLinker::capture_state': redefinition; different type modifiers

I think this is most likely caused by JDK-8254693, which was integrated 
three weeks ago. If no-one has discovered this, or bothered to fix it, 
maybe that is the signal we need to decide to actually stop pretending 
that windows-x86 is something we can build for, and just remove any 
remaining windows-x86 code?
