The 32 bit Linux build has no ELF support, so the binary it produces cannot load any firmware at all:

$ simavr -m atmega328p -f 16000000 smoke.elf
ELF format is not supported by this build.
simavr: Unable to load firmware from file smoke.elf

The reason is in the Install Dependencies step of build-lin32. Adding the i386 architecture makes apt remove 206 amd64 packages to resolve the dependencies, and pkgconf is one of them. Makefile.common detects libelf with pkg-config, so from then on HAVE_LIBELF stays undefined and sim_elf.c compiles to the stub that prints the message above.

It went unnoticed, as far as I can tell, because build-lin32 is the only job without make run_tests. I have the fix running green in my fork, where I load a small firmware after each build as a smoke test, on all eight platforms.

Looks good apart from the commit comment: "CI comments in English". Can you make it the same as the PR description and force-push? Or I can do it while merging.

Thanks, G

Done.

Perhaps irrelevant now but about: "The 32 bit Linux build has no ELF support, so the binary it produces cannot load any firmware at all:". Hex firmware files should have still worked. You just have to ask Make for the hex ...
