how long to keep support for gcc on x86?

... ?

As an embedded platform, I'd expect that people will want to support
any feature which dramatically boosts performance whilst reducing CPU.

Also, if Intel decide to keep trying to push low power x86 for mobile
applications, rather than ARM, x86 may just make a resurgence in
places you once thought were servers.

32 bit x86 isn't legacy and won't be for a long time to come.
