>Description:
chroot'd applications within a i386 environment (amd64 host) that utilize:

################################
ioctl(fd, SIOCGIFCONF, ifc); 
################################

...aren't working properly.  It's seems the ifc_len member of the ifconf structure never gets updated.

Utilizing fresh installs of both amd64 and i386 everything seems to work fine.  However when running this with a chroot'd i386 install on a amd64 host, it fails miserably.

This came up with trying to get wine working with a game.  Here is a reference to the related wine bug that I filed:

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27614

Thoughts?
>How-To-Repeat:
1) Install FreeBSD (I choose to install 8.2-STABLE)

2) Install an i386 chroot:
cd /usr/src && make buildworld installworld distribution TARGET=i386 DESTDIR=/compat/i386

3) Compile the following program once in the 64bit env, and again in the chroot'd 32bit env.
