Hi: Currently only the 64-bit is available (since this is what I run.) The IceCat homepage needs to be updated. I would like to do both a 64-bit and 32-bit but I have been lacking time to just compile lately. I will install a virtual machine on my laptop (64-bit) to compile a version if it helps.
If you want to go ahead and build a 32bit on a 64-bit machine, then I'd recommend you try doing this over a virtualbox (this is available on Trisquel and Debian repos I believe.) Install either Trisquel or Debian 32-bit, then install all of the required packages and you should be able to work from there. This is also possible with Parabola/Arch but I have not as much experience on that end. I would think you'll run into less headache than trying to cross-compile. Let me know your plans!
