Thanks. It mostly works. Setting the arch from x86 to x86 doesn't work
though:

,----
| [local]  ~/ # linux32 lxc-start -n g32
| lxc-start: Device or resource busy - failed to set personality to '0x8
| lxc-start: failed to setup personality
| lxc-start: failed to setup the container
| lxc-start: invalid sequence number 1. expected 2
| lxc-start: failed to spawn 'g32'
| lxc-start: Device or resource busy - failed to remove cgroup '/cgroup/g32'
`----

Without the linux32 in front, the container does start and changes it
personality successfully.
