New comment by ahesford on void-packages repository

Comment:
I just did this on an `aarch64` installation on a Raspberry Pi, when I realized I couldn't run `retroarch` because all of the cores precompiled by that project are 32-bit only. Enter multilib forr ARM. Except for the repository path differences (an easy fix), everything worked beautifully.

```bash
mkdir -p /usr/armv7l/etc/xbps.d
echo "repository=https://mirrors.servercentral.com/voidlinux/current" > /usr/armv7l/etc/xbps.d/00-repository-main.conf
XBPS_ARCH=armv7l xbps-install -S -C /usr/armv7l/etc/xbps.d retroarch mesa-dri
rm -rf /usr/lib32 && ln -s armv7l/usr/lib /usr/lib32
ln -s /usr/armv7l/usr/lib/ld-2.30.so /usr/lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3
/usr/armv7l/usr/bin/retroarch
```

We could wrap this in a simple script that derives `XBPS_ARCH` from the executable name (*e.g.*, `xbps-install-<arch>`) which can check for `/some/path/to/<arch>`, complain if it finds no `etc/xbps.d/00-repository-main.conf` (or maybe prepopulate the file) and make the necessary links after installation if they are missing.
