Yes. If the application doesn't benefit from 64 bit in terms of
speed or memory it is best practice to not ship 64 bit binaries.
Shipping 64 bit binaries with isaexec can easily be turned of with
   NOISAEXEC = 1
   MERGE_DIRS_isa-extra = $(libdir)

Personally I tend to stick with the default to make full 64 bit.


Best regards
