Currently it does not seem to be possible to execute 32-bit Linux ELF binaries in BashOnWindows environment. An attempt to execute an 32-bit ELF binary fails with the following error:
bash: ./program: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
Adding i386 architecture to dpkg and installing i386 versions of relevant libraries (libc6, libncurses5, libstdc++6) does not help.
Generally this is not a big deal if the source of the program is available in a way or another, however, there is quite a lot of 32-bit proprietary tools that are distributed in binary-only form, and currently those are unusable within BashOnWindows.
