  I think you will need a 32 bit version of GCC (or the C compiler you use).

  Then you will need to pass flags to nim to use that compiler.

  It might be easier to get a windows 32 vm and install nim there and compile there.

  I do so here on my Windows 10 64 bit to get 64 and 32 bit executables:

  1. I have 64-bit Nim;
  2. I installed Mingw32 and Mingw64 (C:mingw32 and C:mingw64);

  3) I configured C:Nimconfignim.cfg like this (I placed it at the end of the file):

  @if windows:
    @if i386:
      gcc.path = r"C:/mingw32/bin"
    @elif amd64:
      gcc.path = r"C:/mingw64/bin"
    @end
  @end
  Run

  Ready! To obtain a 32-bit executable, just compile it with --cpu:i386.

  i had the same issue, the ideal solution is to do what rockavera suggests
