It is for reaching files in /home and /tmp and such (whichever you bind
mount) from inside the chroot. Outside the chroot can already reach
everything. inside the chroot you can't run 64bit programs unless you
add a bunch more links (which probably isn't worth the mess).

If you do a chroot command and then run firefox, then firefox only sees
the 32bit stuff. If you just run firefox from 64bit using
/path/to/chroot/usr/bin/firefox on the other hand, then it should see
the 64bit programs, although I don't know if firefox would have any
problems if you ran it that way. I haven't tried firefox that way.
