not at this moment =)

i'd say it's a little bit off topic. i think we've fixed a bunch of
issues[0] related to armhf. and i managed to build ceph in a chroot
env for building armhf binaries. so i assume that Ceph does (or did)
build on certain 32bit platforms at least. but since we don't test
and/or build on 32bit platforms, this could change over the time. if
you are able to pinpoint an FTBFS issue or bug while using Ceph on 32
bit platforms. i can take a look at it.
