Thanks for the suggestions.  After some more investigation and off-list 
pointers, it seems the problem is caused because compiling UML for x86_64 
doesn't allow you to enable IA32 emulation.

Is this just a case of the Kconfig option being missed, or is there a more 
fundamental reason as to why, unlike with the Linux kernel, it's not possible 
to run 32-bit apps inside a 64-bit UML?

Thanks,
Adam.
