Hi Junio,

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,
