Create a 32bit container (lxc). Unlike a virtual machine, both share the
same file system. Makes it much more handy for a build environment.
You can e.g. bind-mount relevant parts of your working environment.

Watch out for different versions of subversion with different formats of
the working copy. Don't run any 'svn' command with the Fedora version of
svn on a Centos SVN working copy.
