Making 32-bit packages in Arch64

Hi Arch community,

I have successfully installed a 32-bit chroot in my Arch64 system.

When I download 32-bit PKGBUILDs from AUR, and run makepkg, it warns me that making packages as root can seriously damage my system.

Is there a good, safe way to build 32-bit packages on a 64-bit Arch system?

Thanks

you could use dchroot to switch into the 32bit root as normal user

Also, if you've set up the chroot according to the wiki you can just do "su [username]" inside the chroot to become a regular user inside the chroot.
