First I used an empty /opt/arch32 dir. I copied makepkg.conf and pacman.conf to /opt/arch32 and made sure they use i686. Then I did:
sudo mkarchroot -C <pacman.conf> -M <makepkg.conf> <chrootdir>/root base base-devel sudo Now I can do makechrootpkg -r /aur -- -i and it creates the i686 package as well. Maybe we could offer this as an option under the wiki?
