Description

We build `amd64` directly: https://github.com/github/smimesign/blob/e650daf6eaadf85c763fa06dcfb0e4d794d293dc/.github/workflows/build-binaries.yml#L89

But I had trouble figuring out how to build for `GOARCH=386` without errors. Right now, we use https://github.com/egor-tensin/setup-mingw to switch to 32-bit builds, which pulls down a bunch of tooling and takes a few minutes:

https://github.com/github/smimesign/blob/e650daf6eaadf85c763fa06dcfb0e4d794d293dc/.github/workflows/build-binaries.yml#L90-L94

I can't help but feel there must still be a nice (or at least much faster) way to do this using the built-in tools from Actions.
