I'm working in the Yocto Project enabling x32 ABI support, the x32 ABI 
enables
programs to work with 32-bit address space and support of benefits of 
64-bit mode
like register calling convention, this improves performance in some 
applications,
details [1][2].

I don't know if this answer your question?

Cheers,
