The faq says:
  I built Spice server on a 32-bit machine and it failed. What can I do?

  Building Spice server on 32-bit machine is not supported because Spice
  server is dependent on 64-bit atomic operations. However, you can
  build Spice client for a 32-bit machine by cding into client directory
  and executeing the make command from there.
