Your aarch64 host CPU needs to support aarch32 at EL0 (some
AArch64 CPUs are pure-64 bit these days). The host kernel needs
to implement the 32-bit compat layer. It probably also needs to be
built for 4K pages (which mostly means "not RedHat"). Then you can
set up the 32-bit chroot however you'd normally set up a chroot
(for Debian you can do this with debootstrap; other distros will vary;
schroot is also a bit nicer than raw chroot IMHO.)
