I do not have real 32 bits hardware to test on, but

    guix build --system=i686-linux ffmpeg

works for me with Guix 6113e05.  It outputs:

/gnu/store/wprpm76xy3b0312579dgv0akzy6k9llh-ffmpeg-6.0-debug
/gnu/store/y2mvpk6bna381ldskfmh6rzy1j34xnms-ffmpeg-6.0

Moreover, CI reports the failures for:

  v3.4.11 https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1836841/details

and passes for:

  v2.1.3 https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/2041193/details
  v2.8.20 https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1836825/details
  v4.4.2 https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1836824/details
  v5.1.3 https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1836833/details
  v6.0   https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1836842/details

Therefore, I am in favor to close it.

WDYT?

Cheers,
