32-bit JVM

A few months ago, we had a discussion about providing a JDK 7 for the 
Mac that can also operate in 32-bit mode.  Someone enabled it and it 
then got disabled again, because it apparently broke something.

Is there any chance to enable it again?  Being able to operate in 32-bit 
and also -client mode is quite important in order to be able to test 
concurrency code using different JVMs.  I still have the JDK that we 
built with this enabled and it works fine, but ideally I would like this 
to be supported by the latest JDK 1.7.

Regards

Heinz
