With Sage-6.6 there will also be the usual 32-bit builds again. Our buildbot makes the binaries, and it would be great if we could increase coverage. Buildbot also has support for libvirt to build/run virtual machines, though we currently don't make use of it. Another possibility would be to run buildbot slaves in docker and have buildbot schedule them so that only one is active at a time.
