Richard,

Well, of course, I was thinking that setting up the bind mount of /dev
took everything else with it. I probably did know better, but it's my
mistake.
Explicitly adding:

mount --bind /dev/pts /<path_to_32_bit_stuff>/dev/pts

Makes everything work. Very sorry guys...

Why chroot?

I have had problems in the past with mixed environments. 

I maintain glibc and uclibc systems in various architectures, and find that keeping everything very separate keeps the confusion levels down.
