We can already start by fixing the autobuild-run script so that you can
start your autobuilder instance. It will only use those toolchains that
can run on 32 bits machine, but there's a good proportion of them.

And then we can think of rebuilding the Buildroot toolchain for x86
32-bits. Speaking of that, I have on my long term todo list to improve
the way I generate the Buildroot external toolchains, which includes
building them for both x86 32 bits and 64 bits. But I have no idea when
this is going to be ready.

Why ?

Looking at
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/df3/df36cc9b593b1f28febfb4868d68f084d29262ed/build-end.log,
the interesting line is:

make[1]: *** [/home/buildroot/autobuild/run/instance-2/output/build/jack2-v1.9.10/.stamp_built] Error 1

It does have this ":" after make[1], and the autobuild.b.o website
properly detected the failure reason to be jack2-v1.9.10.

Best regards,

Thomas
