I'm using a 64bit Gentoo system for maemo development at work and I have
32bit and 64bit Gentoo systems at home which also have the SDK installed.
There's no need for a 32bit chroot as the 32bit scratchbox binaries work
just fine on a 64bit Gentoo system. The scratchbox ebuilds I'm using were
originally made by Priit Laes (IIRC) and I've made some small modifications
and kept them updated with new scratchbox releases. I've attached the
ebuilds in case someone wants to take a look.
