So, if I have understood correctly, the main problem is that 32bit 
compilation is not supported in the current releases of gcc ?
Going to 64bit userland is a huge leap forward.
For the second one, I wonder. I've been able to run 3.13 kernel on my 
V240 hardware and I thing it's recent enough.
I have no clue why is it marked oldkernel something related to the buildd ?
