That seems to be correct, yes.

That change is related to the make_versioninfo project which doesn't
use the Debug build (like make_buildinfo)

Correct as make_buildinfo and make_versioninfo are only ever built as
32-bit (see issue9981)

Oops, an oversight on my part.  It didn't show up in testing as the
solution already is built in 32-bit mode.  The call should in the same
location as in build-amd64.bat
