Well, the missing LLD in 32 bit Slackware is something so be brought up 
on LQ, not here. Maybe Pat will see it and rebuild llvm-13 to include 
LLD. Or maybe LLD from llvm-13 just doesn't build on 32 bit Slackware.

There's always an option of marking x86 as unsupported. There's plenty 
of scripts on SBo that require Slackware64 and barely anyone runs 32 bit 
systems anymore.

I had to mark PrismLauncher as 64 bit only even though there's nothing 
preventing it from compiling on a 32 bit system, it's just that SBo only 
has a 64 bit version of its main dependency, qt6, despite it being 
possible to have qt6 on a 32 bit system, Slackware-current is a proof of 
that.
