How to build packages for i686-linux?

[davidak]

I want to test the build of packages for i686-linux. The README introduces the --system flag, but i get an error.

[davidak@gaming:~/code/nixpkgs]$ nix run github:gador/nixpkgs-review/add-nom -- pr --post-result --system i686-linux 216991 -p tbb_2020_3 -p tbb_2021_8

The following packages specified with `-p` are not rebuilt by the pull request
tbb_2021_8 tbb_2020_3
$ git worktree prune

The error seem misleading. It works with aarch64-linux.

i686-linux builds generally work:

[davidak@gaming:~]$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello --system i686-linux --check
...
/nix/store/5s0yv4lnlgx4l0zk9ls7090nb020fb6j-hello-2.12.1

So something is strange here.

Does using --eval local work? This might have something to do with ofborg not evaling on i686-linux
