Unable to compile 32 bit packages on 64 bit architecture.

[heller390]

A simple c program when compiled gcc -m32 is not getting executed. Gives binary format error . Installed multilib-devel packages already. Having this issue on WSL arch only.

WSL doesn't have 32bit support.
I think it works with WSL2.

Is it a limitation or can be added in future update?

That is technically limitation.
It cannot be fixed by anyone other than Microsoft.

Is this still plausible in arch?

You can also use qemu for emulation.
but Arch Linux uses systemd for manage binfmt,there isn't update-binfmts command.
