 our `mar` signing AND that we do something wrong with our 32bit builds
 given that the issue did not happen in the past and we already seem to
 need some hacks to get 32bit builds going. If neither is the case, great!
 We could closed this ticket then as WORKSFORME or something similar.

 > I think that we did not have this issue in the past because our
 `.mozconfig-linux-i686` file included the line `ac_add_options --host=i686
 -linux-gnu` which caused host tools to be built in 32bit. Although that
 was not really correct as the host was in reality 64bit, but it still
 worked as we can run 32bit binaries on a 64bit host.

 Makes sense. What is Mozilla doing for their 32bit builds? Do they get the
 same result as we? If so, it might be worth filing an upstream bug. If
 not, we should fix our setup.
