Thanks for all the help. I've got it working now. It was simply a matter of 
making this link in the host system

ln -s /var/chroot/sid-ia32/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-linux.so.2

fingers crossed that doesn't break anything else though.

I have been do all of this diagnosis from the host system with the exception 
of the one "ls -ld /lib/ld-linux*" command that I ran in the 32 bit chroot to 
see if I had ld-linux.so.2 in there. I haven't had a problem with this set up 
before and the 32bit JVM seems quite happy running like this. Perhaps I 
should move it into the chroot though.

There are no statically linked versions of Sun Java to the best of my 
knowledge.
