I've got some idea of trying (for example, for strange testing) to build and run some ports as i386, but do that and run them on an amd64 machine. Is is possible in reality?
Say, I want to try www/firefox in both variants: amd64 (native) and i386 (not so native) on the same machine. I could guess that I need to build also all the dependencies (all?) in i386 mode for that. But is it somehow explained somewhere?
UPD. May be that is not clear enough, I want two browsers, i386 and amd64, on one desktop side-by-side, say in MATE desktop, to compare.
