If you want to learn more about compat32pkg, you can check its documentation here, and, if you are interrested in it, you can download the latest version right away here.

As compat32pkg is dedicated to the 32-bit part of the multilib, it can't be used to manage the 64-bit part of the multilib, which is provided by multilib version of packages glibc, glibc-i18n, glibc-profile, glibc-solibs, glibc-zoneinfo, gcc, gcc-g++, gcc-gfortran, gcc-gnat, gcc-java, gcc-objc, and, by the package compat32-tools. For the management of the 64-bit part of the multilib, users might use compat32pkg's little brother : multilibpkg .
