In practice, get something like 10000 compiler errors to be fixed 1 by 1. Espescially for compiling Qt.

One way is by compiling it from the source code.

At <https://bitcoincoredocs.com/all.html> it describes how to compile Bitcoin-core and says

> After the bash shell is active, you can follow the instructions below, starting with the "Cross-compilation" section. Compiling the 64-bit version is recommended, but **it is possible to compile the 32-bit version**.

(my emphasis)

So I would expect that to produce, for example, `bitcoin-28.0-win32.zip`

I haven't tried this.
