If necessary, I'll probably find a way to upload them somewhere next
week. (I'll be away for the next days.) However, that won't help in the
long run, so I'll think it'd be better if you can get your build setup
working.

The diff wouldn't help, since the tests that fail for you are unrelated
to the ones I temporarily disabled.

Maybe you want to try setting up an i386 chroot on an amd64 host as
well? That might work better than using a i386 virtual machine (e.g.
with regard to memory limitations) and I guess this should also work
just fine on a host running Escuelas Linux.

The steps I took to set up the chroot for use with schroot were roughly:

Create chroot:

    sudo debootstrap --arch=i386 buster /some/path/to/chroot/buster-i386

Create entry in /etc/schroot/schroot.conf:

    [buster-i386]
    description=Debian buster (stable) 32-bit
    directory=/some/path/to/chroot/buster-i386
    users=<your_username>
    root-users=<your_username>
    personality=linux32

After that, you can change into the chroot using

    schroot -c buster-i386

or (to work as root):

    schroot -c buster-i386 -u root

and then set up the build dependencies, clone LibreOffice and build from
there as usual.
