Well, Vmware runs just fine without any kind of chroot. OOo also runs fine if you just _install_ it in a chroot but call it from the outside (well, you need to set a bunch of environment variables that point to the 32-bit gconv modules, 32-bit GTK theme, 32-bit GTK & Pango modules etc., and some bind mounts for /etc/openoffice and /usr/lib/openoffice that cannot be relocated by environment variables). The only remaining problem is a "Locale not supported by the C library, falling back to C" message that I could not track down so far. So 32-bit apps seem to work without a chroot; you only need the chroot for package management.
