I used an empty /opt/arch32 dir. I copied makepkg.conf and pacman.conf to
/opt/arch32 and made sure they use i686. Then I did:

sudo mkarchroot -C <pacman.conf> -M <makepkg.conf> <chrootdir>/root
base base-devel sudo

Now I can do makechrootpkg -r /aur -- -i and it creates the i686
package as well. Maybe we could offer this as an option under the
wiki?
