I don't think "-m32" compilation has ever worked properly for C++ on the
older FreeBSD releases, where older includes 9.3.

You're probably better off trying to build with 32-bit chroots or jails
on your 64-bit host, like poudriere or Tinderbox are doing (but I'm not
sure if they support setting up 32-bit jails on 64-bit computers).

See here
<https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2009-September/051855.html>;

so it's a long-standing thing, and for "recent" developments:

<https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2013-June/042378.html>;
-so that would have been for 10-CURRENT at the time, and hints that the
headers weren't pure enough for -m32 and similar tricks.

I am not aware that this effort was ever MFH'd.

I am Cc'ing Konstantin Belousov in case he wants to shed more light on
this issue.
