[Nix-dev] 32bit on 64bit Nix (chroot?)

[Anderson Torres]

About this, there is some way to make a 32-bit chroot on NixOS the s-me way
as the Archlinux tutorials (
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_bundled_32-bit_system_in_Arch64
)?

also callPackage_i686, incase you want to declare your own package that is
strictly 32bit. I'm always idling on #nixos, so feel free to ask some
questions there too, and I'll see if I can offer any advice.
