since not all computers have a 64 bit EFI e.g.: old macs have a 32 bit EFI version; a 32 bit refind is needed.
This task depends upon

refind-efi-i386 can only be compiled in i686 systems since that requires i386 gnu-efi libs (which are part of gnu-efi i686 package). So copy refind-efi-x86_64 PKGBUILD as refind-efi-i386 one, change the build requirement to be i686 system, but make the final refind-efi-i386 package as 'any' package.

gnu-efi x86_64 paclage provides only x86_64 UEFI libs. I didn't yet try to figure out gnu-efi Makefiles to find out how to compile i386 gnu-efi libs in x86_64 system (maybe with gcc-multilib?). If that was possible then gnu-efi can be split up as gnu-efi-libs-x86_64 and gnu-efi-libs-i386 with both being 'any' packages.
