Most likely not. :-)

Oracle has stopped doing any 32-bit builds on a regular basis. As far as 
I know, no-one else has picked up the baton. And without regular 
testing, things are prone to bit rot.

You are welcome to submit a patch, but don't expect things to stay 
working unless someone starts testing. (You are of course even more 
welcome to set up regular testing!)

But that looks seriously broken, like some path including spaces has 
been split up. :-( That's probably not 32-bit related.
