+        architectures are supported depends on the system architecture. Usually the 64bit versions of the various
+        system architectures support their immediate 32bit personality architecture counterpart, but no others. For
+        example, <constant>x86-64</constant> systems support the <constant>x86-64</constant> and
+        <constant>x86</constant> personalities but no others. The personality feature is useful when running 32-bit
+        services on a 64-bit host system. If not specified, the personality is left unmodified and thus reflects the
