Here's the direct download link:

$ wget https://people.debian.org/~glaubitz/chroots/debian-x32-unstable.tar.gz

Checksum should be:

$ sha256sum debian-x32-unstable.tar.gz
010844bcc76bd1a3b7a20fe47f7067ed8e429a84fa60030a2868626e8fa7ec3b debian-x32-unstable.tar.gz

Seems to work fine here (on a distro kernel) even if I extract all the files as a
non-root user and do:

~/s/debian-x32-unstable> fakechroot /usr/sbin/chroot . /usr/bin/dpkg -l | tail -2

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libfakechroot.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
ii util-linux:x32 2.31.1-0.5 x32 miscellaneous system utilities
ii zlib1g:x32 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 x32 compression library - runtime

So that 'dpkg' instance appears to be running inside the chroot environment and is
listing x32 installed packages.

Although I did get this warning:

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libfakechroot.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

Even with that warning, is still still a sufficiently complex test of x32 syscall
code paths?

BTW., "fakechroot /usr/sbin/chroot ." crashes instead of giving me a bash shell.

Thanks,

Ingo
