Mageia 10, recently released, has an i686 version. It doesn't have
everything the 64-bit version has, because a lot of upstream support for
32-bit has disappeared, but it IS supported.
I wonder what they'll do when the first kernel appears that can't be
compiled on x86

"Ingo Molnar, a long-time Linux kernel developer, authored a patch that
eliminates key configuration options related to the 486 CPU, including
CONFIG_M486SX, CONFIG_M486, and CONFIG_MELAN.
These changes, once merged, will prevent users from building kernel images
that target the 486 architecture."
It's been discussed for some time but the 7.1 kernel drops 486 and 586. I
assume that means you couldn't compile 7.1 on a 486 with an older kernel.
