32-bit builds: how to fix static libs linking failure

[barracuda156]

Could anyone say if 32-bit builds are actually been successful on any arch on a Unix-like OS?
I have finally fixed the compilation of NodeJS 14 for ppc, however got a linking failure due to insufficient space. Apparently 32-bit address space has troubles with it.
I do not expect someone to have built it for ppc, but how about i386?

i hear some time ago that this seems a limitation in 32bit architecture of build process?

I am not sure here. V8, roughly corresponding to those versions of NodeJS, builds on 32-bit, at least with CMake. V8 from NodeJS does not.
