What would the best way to compile i686 packages on a 64bit system to test the i686 version? With also maybe a possible few 32-bit only software that I might have to run.
Simple. Use a 32-bit chroot.
Or send it to me to test. ;-)
Check out my wrapper for the devtools, called makizushi.

to build a 64 bit package just do the following: (you might want to change the packager variable, although you don't have to)
newchr stable64 mkchr stable64
first command creates a clean chroot in /var/mychroots second command makes the package in the clean chroot
Note the newchr only needs to be run one time since the clean chroot will stay on your system until you delete it.
