You can certainly provide either a container, or install the 32-bit 
libraries in a 64-bit environment. Then run

PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=... ./configure --extra-cflags=-m32

and it should be possible to build 32-bit binaries, too.

Alternatively, we could add a cross-compilation job that builds with 
i686-w64-mingw32 in 32-bit.
