in theory, the tools (util-vserver) should be easy
to build as 32bit _or_ 64bit ones (assumed that
dietlibc supports both), now a testme.sh and testfs.sh
testrun with 32bit tools _and_ 64bit tools would be
a good start, if the guests are 32bit by default,
then a guest virtualization and startup (with the
proper personality) should suffice ...

TIA,
Herbert
