Your best bet is probably an ia32 chroot, that way you have all the
apps and library issues will take care of themselves. Trying to satisfy
all the library requirements for big apps like this will just make a
mess of your filesystem. Also note that ia32 binary support is a
compatibility feature, not a performance feature of ia64.
