When running an i386-linux-gnu chroot on an x86_64-linux-gnu host:
$ uname -m
x86_64
This seriously breaks lots of native autoconf checks. A massive number of
packages will FTBFS or work improperly when built inside the chroot.
Just install linux32, and use this wrapper to run your code.
I think uname() should have hardcoded (#ifdef __x86_64__) machine name instead
of asking Linux which doesn't always know.
Using this solution would mean that you can't detect if a 32-bit or a
64-bit kernel is running, which is sometimes necessary. This is not
acceptable.
