32-bit host support is deprecated since commit 6d701c9bac1
("meson: Deprecate 32-bit host support"). Besides, the Debian
distribution we are using to cross-build dropped support for
MIPS as of Debian 13 [*]:
From trixie, the architectures mipsel and mips64el are no
longer supported by Debian. Users of these architectures
are advised to switch to different hardware.
Next commits will remove support for 32-bit MIPS hosts. Stop
building the mipsel Docker image.
