[Slackbuilds-users] 32-bit programs, required to maintain?

Poor wording on my part, rephrase:

When I create a slackbuild for an app that has both 64-bit and 32-bit 
versions, is it required that I provide links to the 32-bit version in the 
.info file, and include the code to install it in the .SlackBuild?

I ask because I have't run 32-bit for years and it's difficult to 
meaningfully test it.
