Yes. In case Debian oldstable counts.

I just tried it on WSL (which technically is a 64-bit Linux system 
running inside a container built by Microsoft), and while most 32-bit 
programs work there, A2 Linux32 does not.

It does not matter whether running it with multiarch or inside a 32-bit 
chroot (Debian sid), it always immediately receives SIGTRAP like in your 
example. Loading the core file into gdb suggests it got stranded on an 
INT3 instruction.

It also does not matter whether it is started with setarch flags (I 
think I tried all possible ones, but probably I missed the correct 
combination).

Compiling a hello world C program with -m32 and running it works fine, 
though (in all the scenarios tested above).


Regards,


Michael
