OK, but I wanted to have most of the space of the 4 GB SSD encrypted with geli(8); so I should make there some slice containing /boot (unencrypted) and a second slice which later will contain my HOME and encrypted; wrong? right. but do not forget bootloader requires things to be in /boot

This is a known issue, and had been around for a long time. You can't reliably build 32 bit binaries (what the -m32 flag specifies) on a 64 bit system. The header files (and possibly other things) are wrong. People build 32 bit binaries on 64 bit systems all the time. It is called
