Well, you can certainly make a 32 bit chroot directory and compile |
| 12 |
things in there. That works on x86_64 quite nicely. (Never tried it on |
| 13 |
the sparcs 'coz I got rid of the SPARCstations long ago.) |

I don't know how you'd peel out the results of your compile and place |
| 16 |
them into your 64 bit "host" without mucking up things. I guess you |
| 17 |
could use binpkg or some such but you'd still have the problem of |
| 18 |
unwrapping the 32 bit pkg in your 64 bit host. Yuck. |
