This and similar questions belong to the scratchbox mailing lists...

It means you are trying to run x86 binaries while having an arm
library in LD_PRELOAD.  since checkinstall most likely tries to
override same functions as fakeroot and libsb, making it work is
not trivial. 

nevertheless, checkinstall does not support application installer varian deb 
packages, so it isn't going to help you much..
