If you have lines like this in your ld.so.conf, the 32-bit apps will
find 'em:

/home/jeremy/crux-i686/lib
/home/jeremy/crux-i686/usr/lib
/home/jeremy/crux-i686/usr/X11R6/lib


By "real system", I mean the system you boot to, not the chroot
environment.  Of course, I suppose you could just install them to your
chroot environment, then add the full path to your PATH env, like

export
PATH=$PATH:/home/jeremy/crux-i686/bin:/home/jeremy/crux-i686/sbin:and-so-on
