TravisCI does not support 32-bit platforms natively: https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/986#issuecomment-124141683
However, there seems to be a way to enter a 32 bit Trusty chroot on 64 bit Travis via Docker: https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/5770
@Duy: You mentioned that you compiled Git on Docker before ($gmane/297963). What do you think the chroot approach? Could that work? Would that be reliable?
@Sid: Does GitLab CI support 32-bit platforms?
Thanks, Lars
