I see immediate value in improving GH workflows, and see no clear estimate how much work would be involved in hooking up Travis, and what the project-wide consequences would be. If you want, open a new bug, prototype the change, discuss it there, and see if that is an acceptable thing to do.

Let me coop this PR to rename x32 -> x86, among other cosmetic changes. Once #830 lands, I'll update x32 -> x86 in those new blocks as well. This way, we can have best of both worlds: x86_32 would start testing, and we would do the follow-ups here.
