Host routes are not necessarily always static ie u may
have a loopback address with a /32 configured...
Having said that, remember that IGRP only advertises
one mask length, and seeing as your router interfaces
will not take a 32-bit mask (unless u r using ip
unnumbered), IGRP will not advertise the /32 network.
RIP should exhibit the same behaviour.
