An interesting bit of information, I recently had a chat with
someone who just set up a Tinderbox on RELENG_8_1, where my
/solution/ apparently does not work. It seems some COMPAT_FREEBSD32
improvements made it into RELENG_8 in the mean time. He says he
also has to set UNAME_p for his i386 jails to work, so maybe that
should be added to the tinderbox.env file as well.

Is there any way of setting ARCH (and UNAME_p) to the architecture
of the jail?

I tried ^^ARCH^^, which did not work and my perl foo is - well,
there really is no perl foo (shame on me).
