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

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi Magnus,

There is
https://openjdk.org/jeps/449
Deprecate the Windows 32-bit x86 Port for Removal

I guess we need another JEP to remove it.
(SAP does not need the port.)

Best regards,
  Goetz.

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?
