I'm running both OpenOffice 2.0 and StarOffice 8 on Fedora
Core 3 x86-64 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2 x86-64
-- 0 issues.  I've loaded the i586 version Java Software
Development Kit (j2sdk) 1.50.006 from Sun's site and used the
JPackage compat package for rebuilding the symlinks in
alternatives.

I'm also running a host of games and binary titles built for
i386 on the FC3/x86-64 version without issues.  The i386
version of SDL, DirectMedia and other components _are_
included in the stock x86-64, as does nVidia's installer for
x86-64 offer an i386 GLX too.

I use OOo/SO _heavily_ and I've yet to encounter an issue. 
Again, I did _not_ install the x86-64 version of Java, but
the i586 version.

I've build an x86-64 version of Checkinstall, so just about
everything I've needed to rebuild from source, that's taken
care of it.  If anyone wants a copy, let me know, but I won't
be able to send it do you until next week (I'm in Hawaii for
Christmas).
