running 32 bit arm
#1
Can anyone point me in the direction of how to get 32 bit ARM packages running on Arch Linux aarch64?

My understanding is that armv8 (or aarch64) is backwards compatible, but I have no idea how to enable this.

The software I am trying to run is btsync.

It seems possible on Debian, http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=135&t=18806.  In that forum post, all that was needed was libc6 for armhf.  But specifying the desired alternate architecture in Arch linux does not seem to work when trying to install libc6 with either pacman or yaourt:

$ file btsync
btsync: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.3, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=c586701ab44d098336c08f952ac7cdf27373a1be, stripped

Which indicates that ld-linux.so.3 is required (which as I understand is in libc6 package on Debian)

But if I try to install libc6 on Arch:

$ yaourt -S --arch arm libc6
error: target not found: libc6

After investigating further, it seems libc6 is actually called glibc in Arch Linux - but I still cannot figure out how to install it for ARM and not aarch64:

$ pacman -S --arch arm glibc
warning: glibc-2.23-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)
:: package glibc-2.23-1-aarch64 does not have a valid architecture
