New 32 bit Linux Reference Platform (f30)

As part of fixing the v30 bug (see posts with "v30 bug" as a label) we were forced to change our 32 bit Linux reference platform. The previous platform was over a decade old, so we were probably due.

Our 32 bit Linux platform is now:

Linux 2.6.32-42-generic-pae #96-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 15 19:12:17 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux

Under 32 bit Linux, our shared Perl object is now built against v5.10.1 and our shared PHP object is now built against 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.18.

Note that this means that we no longer support ancient glibc installations, but we suspect that there are precious few such installations left. However, if you are a customer of ours and you cannot run the new 32 bit Linux executable, we will be able to provide the old 32 bit Linux executables for the remainder of v30's reign--ie until October 1st, 2013.
