This is about the /guest/ firmware images, and they are cross-compiled. And note that you can run 32-bit guests on 64-bit hosts (if supported by the cpu). Note that I have no objections to removing the 32-bit edk2 firmware images. Upstream edk2 is in the process of removing 32-bit support, so that is going to happen sooner or later anyway (for both arm and ia32). Also UEFI on 32-bit never really took off in the first place. But when doing so do it properly please. Remove build config (in edk2-build.config), pre-built binaries, maybe also test cases, ...
I only have handy Fedora 42 and 43 VMs where this script doesn't work anymore. I'm not really interested in installing a pre-37 Fedora to build EDK2 ARM, nor motivated right now to clean this "properly". Better we wait EDK2 32-bit removal upstream and then clean these QEMU scripts. Regards, Phil.
