32-bit jail on 64-bit host

[Peter Blok]

The goal is to use p5-DBD-Oracle which only works/compiles on i386 on a very light system not able to run bhyve.

I have tried with lib32 but it fails as well. I do not have a lot of time to debug this, so I was hoping I was able to make this work on an i386 jail.

I’ll change the jail.conf and manage it from the outside. Hopefully it works.
