AFAIR Docker does not support 32-bit, and IIRC that's what Travis uses.

However, it is possible to install a 32-bit toolchain and use that to compile Git.

It would be even easier with MacOSX because XCode's gcc can target both architectures. Simply adding the -m32 CFLAG/LDFLAG might be enough.

Sadly, I lack the time to investigate further. Sounds like a fun project.

Ciao, Dscho
