Thank you for your reply.

Of course a 'libc6-amd64' would be a good thing to have for 
i386/amd64-libs. This should work with a similar patch (basically with 
'i386' replaced by 'amd64' and vice versa, and with '-m32' replaced by 
'-m64'). 

I even tried to write such a patch, but at that moment there was no 
biarch compiler with a working '-m64' switch available on i386.
I just checked again and it seems that 'gcc-3.4 -m64' works now.

I will try to change the patch so that it also covers the 
i386/libc-amd64 case.
