Description

Adds 32-bit fakeroot support for build and packaging workflows that need simulated root ownership. It helps compatibility build tools create package metadata without actually running the whole build as root.

Fakeroot simulates ownership metadata; it is not a security sandbox. Build scripts can still run commands as the current user, so use trusted sources and clean build directories.
