gcc being a memory hog on for C++ code is a hard problem,
and debug symbols for C++ code can be a problem since

But gcc needing more than 4 GB for a small C kernel driver is not
a problem for the "Ability to further support 32bit architectures",
that's a gcc bug that should be reported upstream just like you wouldn't
suggest dropping amd64 if gcc would ICE on one kernel driver on that
architecture.
