According to Sven, 32-bit Windows libraries will be built anew for JOGL 2.6.0 but we won't be able to test them.
In my humble opinion, you shouldn't rely on a JRE installed on the system, you can bundle a JRE with your software in order to use a 64-bit JRE on systems supporting it.
Java itself will drop support of 32-bit JDK and JRE, some modules don't support 32-bit architectures anyway (java.lang.foreign) and sticking to an obsolete version of Java is a bad idea for obvious security reasons. You'll have to convince your end users to buy more modern hardware, it's unavoidable.
