Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.5-6

The following happens in a i386-chroot on an AMD64 system.

Preparing to replace libc6 2.3.5-6 (using .../libc6_2.3.5-13_i386.deb) ...
WARNING: This machine has real i386 class processor.
Debian etch and later does not support such old hardware
any longer.
The reason is that "bswap" instruction is not supported
on i386 class processors, and some core libraries have
such instruction. You'll see illegal instruction error
when you upgrade your Debian system.

I suggest to use linux32 (from the linux32 package) to call chroot, this
way uname -m will return i686 without having to replace it.

As this is not a bug, I am closing it.
