That is a 32-bit system.  A 64-bit system would reply x86_64 instead.

That just means that your processor would be capable of running a 64-bit
system.  Not that it is currently running one.

Note that this can also mean that you are running inside of 32-bit
container or VM.  Either way the level you are trying to install/run
LilyPond under is a 32-bit system.
