Currently you have to run automate-git.py using python2, that's a little inconvenient if you also have python 3 installed.

At https://wiki.python.org/moin/Python2orPython3 it says "You should use Python 3 going forward, and as of January 2020 Python 2 will be in EOL (End Of Life) status and receive no further official support"
Are there any plans to update the build script?

Also it takes approximately 16 hours to build on my machine using the --x64-build option. It would be nice to have an option to suppress the 32bit build which I do not need.

Yes, there are plans to add Python 3 support by the January 2020 deadline.

AFAIK --x64-build does not build 32-bit libcef.

Thanks for the information Magreen.

Its some time since I last I did a build and I seem to recall it building 4 versions
Looking in the folder where I last built I see these folders in chromium\src\out\
Debug_GN_x64_sandbox
Debug_GN_x86_sandbox
Release_GN_x64_sandbox
Release_GN_x86_sandbox
Debug_GN_x64
Debug_GN_x86
Release_GN_x64
Release_GN_x86

But only the _x64 folders have object files in them so it seems I was mistaken and it was the sandbox builds that I was thinking of.
I guess those are required although I am running without the sandbox
