An old trick I used to use was when running a 64 bit OS, is to create a 32 bit chroot system inside your current system.

You can then mount it anytime and run / compile 32 bit programs when needed using the default package manager/compiler.

It takes up some space but is a lot better then dual booting or messing with libraries and and other stuff.

Otherwise VMware is a good options as well to install 64 and 32 bit systems to compile and test stuff on.
