With that many you obviously have a local mirror that they all update
from, right?
 cd pathtomirror/5/updates/x86_64/RPMS
 find ../../i386 -name thunderbird\* -exec ln -s {} \;
 cd ..
 createrepo -v --update -d -o repodata x86_64

And get your boss happy with _that_ .... but only if the 32bit version
worked.

Any chance you could get the source of those and recompile for 64?
Yeh Yeh, maintenance headache, but can that set of headaches (work [and
more at each update of the tool] and IA) be balanced against the
alternatives and be a win for the division.
