I did not know that & TBH I can't see why you'd want it; it's going to
be slow, inefficient and since the main point of x86-64 is access to
more memory & a 32-bit host cannot provide this, it seems rather
pointless.

But I sit corrected, nonetheless. It is possible. Not desirable, but possible.

I stand by the rest of my points, though.
