Does running 'linux32 schroot -c whatever' solve it?  After all linux32
just makes uname return i686 or whatever instead of x86_64.  I thought
schroot did that too when you told it the chroot should be 32 bit.

personality=linux32 in the schroot config should do that for you.

Certainly that works for me, and nothing has ever thought it was on a
64bit system inside the chroot with that setting.
