Hi Gregory,
I have built texlive for this ABI (not a arch that remains x86_64) x32
uses 32bit Int/Long/Pointer (ILP) while running on a x86_64 this allows
lower memory footprint and smaller binaries.
Interesting. Hadn't heard of that particular combination before; I like
it :).
I think it's pretty too specialized to distribute with TL, but I would
certainly like to link to them so people can use them as "custom
binaries" (http://tug.org/texlive/custom-bin.html). There's no need for
you to rebuild with static libs unless you hear otherwise from users.
All the best,
Karl
