It appears that the 32-b versions will not be supported in the
beginning. If you require a 32-b version, you'll have to either
do it (and of course redistribute it under the GPL) or use LEON.

The 128+ versions are 64-b versions where some execution units
are duplicated in a SIMD way (ie : ASU, IMUL, INC), that is :
a 256-bit ASU is a set of four 64-bit (normal) ASU which drive
the 256-bit buses parallely. Some other
units are simply scaled up (ROP2, LSU). Some other units are still
undefined, it sometimes doesn't make sense to have larger versions.
Anyway, the 128+ versions will provide downsized versions of the
instructions (with and without SIMD support).

32-bit support is "dropped" : not encouraged or supported.
