 Oh, I forgot to test the nightly target.

 GCC is as the build script at least should be the same (modulo the
 different hash in the bundle name that stems from somewhere else).

 Yes, GCC is built exactly in the same way in both cases, the only
 difference is the list of packages installed in the containers, and the
 `dpkg --add-architecture i386` we only run in the i686 case (which are
 causing the hash in the filename to differ).
