Please report the Windows 10 versions on which you experience this: cmd

Don't worry, there are no plans to neglect 32-bit support in mintty.
For your application, however, consider that cygwin 32-bit support seems 
to be fading in general as cygwin 32-bit is said to be less stable (due 
to library address conflicts), so it may be worth considering an upgrade 
of the application.
