Don't do it if you can avoid it.  You don't know what libraries you will
need, and switching to brokenarch can get you into all sorts of
dependency problems.  32bit support is majorly broken and non-working in
Debian testing.

Wine?  I tried that a few years ago and it couldn't even run notepad
though they're always claiming it can run almost everything.
