No, out of the configurations you mentioned, these ones are _not_ tested
by CI:

  linux-g++-32 Ubuntu 12.04 x86 32-bit Gcc 4.4
  linux-g++-64 Ubuntu 12.04 x86 64-bit Gcc 4.4
  win64-msvc2010 Windows 7 x86 64-bit
  win32-MinGW Windows 7 x86 32-bit MinGW 4.4

With respect to MinGW 4.4: in the past, attempting to use that in CI, we
would very frequently hit this internal compiler error:

However, many people used MinGW 4.4 for a long time with no problems.
