That should be sufficient for recent 32 bit Windows versions. No need even to reboot after doing
registry change. I have not tried with WIn7, but it works with latest Windows Vista and Windows 10
32 bit versions. I'm myself using 32-bit Windows 10 (running in VirtualBox VM under Fedora 26 64
bit version) to build DJGPP port of GCC including latest versions as gcc-7.2.0 and gcc-6.4.0. So
one can compile large enough programs for DJGPP under 32-bit Windows.

PS. Windows 10 update sometimes removes this added registry setting when updating to new build. So
one had to re-add it to the registry
