I edited the "Install bundled 32-bit system" and added my tutorial on how to
build i686 packages at
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_bundled_32-bit_system_in_Arch64#Build_32-bit_packages_in_a_64-bit_environment

Feel free to edit it if it isn't easily understood, I tried to write it as
simple as I possibly could, though I am not a good at writing articles and
such.

Thanks,
P.S. I hope you think it is a good tutorial.
