Thing is, when you hit the end of the road and have a 32bit compiled piece of
software that you can't rebuild, you have to accept that you *do* want to run
32bit software, but would rather run 64bit when possible.  In that reality,
having only necessary 32bit libs installed doesn't really cause the world to
implode.
