You cannot do what you want to do, is the short answer. The problem is that you cannot run a 64-bit binary upon a 32-bit system, and thats what you're seeing. Part way through the debootstrap the system tries to run "chroot /.... mount" which fails. (The other way round is fine, on a 64-bit system you can create a 32-bit chroot.) If your processor happens to be a 64-bit one then you can fix this by installing a 64-bit kernel - keeping your system 32-bit but having the kernel be capable of running both systems..
