 Another very similar tool to consider is [matthew-brett/multibuild](http://github.com/matthew-brett/multibuild). `multibuild` is a shell script toolbox for building a wheel on various platforms. It is used as a basis to build some of the big data science tools, like SciPy.
 
-If you are building Rust wheels, you can get by without some of the tricks required to make GLIBC work via manylinux; this is especially relevant for cross-compiling, which is easy with Rust. See [maturin-action](https://github.com/messense/maturin-action) for a tool that is optimized for building Rust wheels and cross-compiling.

+### Building Rust wheels
+
+If you build Rust wheels, you need to download the Rust compilers in manylinux.
+If you support 32-bit Windows, you need to add this as a potential target. You
+can do this on GitHub Actiions, for example, with:
+
+```yaml
+CIBW_BEFORE_ALL_LINUX: curl -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh -s -- -y
+CIBW_BEFORE_ALL_WINDOWS: rustup target add i686-pc-windows-msvc
+CIBW_ENVIRONMENT_LINUX: "PATH=$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"
+```
+
+You probably need to skip PyPy (if using PyO3, anyway), and Rust does not provide Cargo for musllinux 32-bit:
+
+```toml
+[tool.cibuildwheel]
+skip = ["pp*", "*-musllinux_i686"]
+```
+
+Also see [maturin-action](https://github.com/PyO3/maturin-action) which is optimized for Rust wheels and can cross-compile (and can build 32-bit musl, for example).

 ### macOS: ModuleNotFoundError
 
 Calling cibuildwheel from a python3 script and getting a `ModuleNotFoundError`? Due to a (fixed) [bug](https://bugs.python.org/issue22490) in CPython, you'll need to [unset the `__PYVENV_LAUNCHER__` variable](https://github.com/pypa/cibuildwheel/issues/133#issuecomment-478288597) before activating a venv.
