        I have one of those pandaboards, and I'm pretty sure debian doesn't support them. In fact I'm pretty sure nobody still supports them.

          The great thing about Linux is you can grab the kernel config from the original BSP, use it to compile up a recent kernel, debootstrap a recent userland and support it *yourself*

                It's a joke how long this is taking.

                  It’s Debian. They don’t do anything quick. Patience is a virtue.

                    The question being... what about x86-32?

                    Yeah, they intend to not fix this, nor 32bit file offsets, because they're using x86-32 as a compatibility layer for old binaries, and otherwise do not care about x86-32.
