 +== An alternative way to build other ARCH packages ==
 +
 +Instead of using `ARCH=i686' before running a slackbuild, we can use a program
 +called `setarch', which, among other things, can set the ARCH and the kernel
 +version in the shell.  It has some handy symlinks, such as linux32 or i586,
 +which saves some typing.  The `linux32' command will set the reported kernel's
 +ARCH as `i686'.
 +
 +**SYNOPSIS**
 +<code>
 +  setarch arch [options] [program [argument...]]
 +</code>
 +
 +When we run `linux32' it starts a new shell, so we can also use it to chroot:
 +
 +<code>
 +  chroot /path/to/chroot linux32 /bin/zsh
 +</code>
 +
 +or it could be run after chrooting into our new root.  Settings will revert to
 +normal when we exit the new shell.  One useful option is to change the kernel's
 +reported version:
 +
 +<code>
 +  chroot /path/to/chroot linux32 --uname-2.6 /bin/zsh
 +</code>
 +
 +That `--uname-2.6' isn't a typo, there has to be a dash between the flag and
 +the version.  The setarch(8) man page shows all the options.
