It can.

This one is here just because what are distributed by hub.docker.com are x86_64
environments. Of course it's possible to do 32-bit builds with them, the i386
image just provides a bit more authenticity. I'm not counting on it to catch
more bugs than the mingw 32bit cross-build, but this makes a good example of
using basevm.py.
