Running steamcmd on BOX86 in armhf chroot

I want to run a game server on my raspberry pi 4 (4GB) using steamcmd. I have already set up a chroot and box86 to run a teamspeak 3 server.

I am following these instructions and I am stuck on step 8, that is running steamcmd.sh.

I have altered the file to run box86, however whenever I run the shell script, it seems to update itself before executing, reverting my edits.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
STEAMROOT="$(cd "${0%/*}" && echo $PWD)"
STEAMCMD=`basename "$0" .sh`
UNAME=`uname`
if [ "$UNAME" == "Linux" ]; then STEAMEXE="${STEAMROOT}/linux32/${STEAMCMD}" PLATFORM="linux32" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$STEAMROOT/$PLATFORM:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
else # if [ "$UNAME" == "Darwin" ]; then STEAMEXE="${STEAMROOT}/${STEAMCMD}" if [ ! -x ${STEAMEXE} ]; then STEAMEXE="${STEAMROOT}/" fi export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$STEAMROOT:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" export DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH="$STEAMROOT:$DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH"
fi
ulimit -n 2048
MAGIC_RESTART_EXITCODE=42
if [ "$DEBUGGER" == "gdb" ] || [ "$DEBUGGER" == "cgdb" ]; then ARGSFILE=$(mktemp $USER.steam.gdb.XXXX) # Set the LD_PRELOAD varname in the debugger, and unset the global version. if [ "$LD_PRELOAD" ]; then echo set env LD_PRELOAD=$LD_PRELOAD >> "$ARGSFILE" echo show env LD_PRELOAD >> "$ARGSFILE" unset LD_PRELOAD fi $DEBUGGER -x "$ARGSFILE" --args /usr/local/bin/box86 "$STEAMEXE" "$@" rm "$ARGSFILE"
else $DEBUGGER /usr/local/bin/box86 "$STEAMEXE" "$@"
fi
STATUS=$?
if [ $STATUS -eq $MAGIC_RESTART_EXITCODE ]; then exec "$0" "$@"
fi
exit $STATUS

When I run this modified file I get this:

Box86 with Dynarec v0.2.1 7c0b11e built on May 6 2021 17:03:01
WARNING: setlocale('en_US.UTF-8') failed, using locale: 'C'. International characters may not work.

/opt/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh: line 37: /opt/steamcmd/linux32/steamcmd: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

If I use a different file name, such as steamcmd_custom.sh I get this:

Box86 with Dynarec v0.2.1 7c0b11e built on May 6 2021 17:03:01
Error: file is not found (check BOX86_PATH)
./steamcmd_custom.sh: line 38: 71730 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $DEBUGGER /usr/local/bin/box86 "$STEAMEXE" "$@"

And running

box86 steamcmd

from /opt/steamcmd/linux32 yields me

Box86 with Dynarec v0.2.1 7c0b11e built on May 6 2021 17:03:01

Run it with

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/steamcmd/linux32/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" box86 linux32/steamcmd

This will make the library path be available to steamcmd.
