See also Bug #1210306

While the Simple Directmedia Layer (SDL) libraries are still available as 32-bit packages, SDL2_ttf is only available as a 64-bit package. This is despite SDL_ttf (the older, SDL 1.2 version) being available in both 64- and 32-bit variants.

Some games depend on 32-bit SDL2_ttf, and while many of them do bundle a copy, some do not, and others may benefit from using a newer distro-provided package instead.

I'd also personally appreciate the -devel-32bit variant, as I use them quite regularly to build wrappers and to cross-compile simple games, etc, but that's definitely more niche than having the binaries. It is available for the SDL 1.2-based SDL_ttf as well as for SDL2_devel, so all of its dependencies should be available.

Thanks very much!

We need a list of those games.
