I think this is building on an ARM64 host, targeting 32bit x86.

Obviously tests can't run in that environment, but building should be
possible. I can e.g. build postgres for x86-64 windows on my linux machine,
but can't run the tests (in theory they could be run with wine, but wine isn't
complete enough to run postgres).
