Simple. Use a 32-bit chroot.
Or send it to me to test. ;-)
I installed Xyne's package, arch32-light. How do I build in it, I am guessing maybe cp the PKGBUILD to somewhere in /opt/arch32?
Nathan, just read up on chroots and how to use them, starting with the 32-bit chroot article on the wiki on which arch32-light is based. In this case, yeah, you would copy it to somewhere in /opt/arch32 then chroot into /opt/arch32 and build the package as usual (provided that you already installed pacman and base-devel in the chroot).
I don't want to discourage you from asking specific questions when you get stuck but as an Archer you're expected to do some research and testing on your own first. Questions such as "How do I do x?" where "x" is something very general are a sign of laziness. Questions such as "I've tried x, but I get the following error message and I can't find a solution through <some search engine> or the forum. What should I do?" show that you've at least tried to solve it yourself.
Don't take this the wrong way either. I'm not annoyed. I'm just trying to encourage you to approach things a little differently.
I know I looked at the 32bit bundled article, but it didn't mention anything about building AUR packages there.
