+ <para>Powerpc64 is slightly different from some of the other
+ architectures, because a 64-bit kernel running 32-bit userspace can
+ successfully chroot and execute 64-bit programs. However, if the
+ kernel personality has been set to 32-bit by a utility such as
+ linux32, it will eventually fail when glibc thinks it is building
+ on a 32-bit system and tries to include incompatible assembler code
+ in the 64-bit glibc.</para>
+
+ <para>To see if you can successfully chroot to build the final powerpc64
+ system, enter the following command which tests if you are running a
+ 64-bit Linux 2.6 kernel (with a 64-bit personality):</para>
