Dear Goswin, Thanks for answering my questions. I have a few comments and I have a few more questions for you. Hopefully simple...

I haven't checked other common libraries, but if this is indeed the case then that solves most of my problems. I have only compiled simple hello.c like stuff using this method, and ld will run the link scripts from libc6-dev-i386, however, during execution, the dynamic linker is still able to pull libraries from my chroot. So this is relatively clean, i.e. I can manage all my 32-bit libraries from the chroot environment, and still build 32-bit execs from the 64-bit environment.
> 4) The: cross-compile toolchain > > ... omitted That is rather complicated and would require you to setup cross-compile versions of all libraries you need. At that point it is way easier to create a new ia32-libs-something[-dev] package that converts the libs you need to use /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib. You can use ia32-libs as template and probably just have to adjust the package list and depend on ia32-libs.
Is there a howto page or link you might be aware of that goes through the process of creating such packages? In particular, how to take an existing package as template and build up from that.
