Please consider the attached patch. With this change applied to sbuild
git master, these builds succeed on an amd64 machine, using a chroot
sid-i386-sbuild previously created with sbuild-createchroot:

sbuild --arch=i386 -d unstable hello_2.10-1
- Machine Architecture: amd64
- Host Architecture: i386
- Build Architecture: i386

sbuild --build=i386 --host=armhf -d unstable hello_2.10-1
- Machine Architecture: amd64
- Host Architecture: armhf
- Build Architecture: i386
