I meant to ask you about this.  Do you need this because the hardware
is 32 bit only?  If the hardware is x86-64 then you can use the 64 bit
virt-p2v ISO fine, even though the OS is 32 bit.

The reason we don't build 32 bit virt-p2v ISOs any more is because
since RHEL 7 we dropped support for x86:

Building a RHEL 6-based modern virt-p2v is possible, but would require
some non-trivial effort, particularly around testing and certification.

It should be possible to build a Fedora-based 32 bit ISO, modulo the
other bugs in livecd-creator etc.
