This is not a bug. We use symlinks for setarch to support specific
architectures. It would be beneficial to describe this in the man
page in better way...

$ find /usr/bin -type l -lname 'setarch'
/usr/bin/i386
/usr/bin/linux64
/usr/bin/uname26
/usr/bin/x86_64
/usr/bin/linux32

There's a very old Debian bug (#530011) asking for the setarch man page to list all its aliases. Actually it started out asking what "arch" meant in there.

Maybe the man page really could list all known aliases?
