Subject: [gentoo-amd64] Installing into a 32-bit chroot?

1 Hello all,
2
3 I'd like to see if I can install gambas into my 32-bit chroot jail. It's
4 masked out of everything but vanilla x86 systems, which I think is what I
5 have in /mnt/gentoo32 (the chroot jail).
6
7 Using emerge to install gambas brings all sorts of other things, including a
8 duplicate xorg-x11 installation, which seems a bit excessive to me. How do
9 I go about emerging into /mnt/gentoo32 with full X functionality etc, but
10 without all the baggage? Perhaps someone's already done this and can advise
11 me.
12
13 I don't really understand properly how chroots work, and in particular
14 whether it's possible to install, e.g., gambas in /mnt/gentoo32 and have it
15 use libraries etc. elsewhere. Or do I really have to install a virtually
16 complete gentoo 32-bit system to enable it to work?
