Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.6-3
Severity: important

When running an i386-linux-gnu chroot on an x86_64-linux-gnu host:

$ uname -m
x86_64

This seriously breaks lots of native autoconf checks.  A massive number of
packages will FTBFS or work improperly when built inside the chroot.

I think uname() should have hardcoded (#ifdef __x86_64__) machine name instead
of asking Linux which doesn't always know.
