In an ideal world, it should.  m32 makes it easier to match,
distinguishing from x32, and, more importantly, doesn't clash with
existing uses such as x86_64-mingw32.  (We are actually relying on this
config for 32-bit mingw builds running in x86_64 native mode as well)

More tolerance and less prejudice are key for inclusion and diversity.
Excluding neuro-others for not behaving ""normal"" is *not* inclusive!
