That's great news! > I wonder if there is a good reason NOT building IA32 OVMF... > I have no idea about that... I would guess that the maintainers might have face similar problems to #842683 and that these problems have been fixed upstream in the mean time, but that is just speculation... I took a quick look at debian/rules and while I don't think that big changes are needed -- after all, multiple architectures are already supported -- I think the maintainer's experience is needed here. It's definitely helpful to know that you could successfully build and test the 32-bit version, though!
