I do not see the problem here, all but the latest T-Resc are x86-32bit
and run in Qemu just fine. In fact I use Qemu to test and develop
all the day. The T-Resc will continue to be 32bit, it is just that I built
a 64bit flavour for a friend to dump, check, restore a TB XFS volume,
...

Btw. the even the 64bit flavour runs in qemu-system-x86_64.

Is there any probme with the 32bit versions of T-Resc?
