When reading examples/dpdk_qat/Makefile, we can see this check:

    ifneq ($(CONFIG_RTE_ARCH),"x86_64")
        ifneq ($(LBITS),i686)
        $(error The RTE_TARGET chosen is not compatible with this environment \
        (x86_64), for this application. Please change the definition of the \
        RTE_TARGET environment variable, or run the application on a 32-bit OS)
        endif
    endif

Is it on purpose to limit the 32-bit support to i686 only?
Instead of the message "run the application on a 32-bit OS", should it be
"on an i686 OS"?
