I have it running on more than one 64-bit system. It is working but
not as well as on my Apple Macbook :(.

Install the ia-32 libraries and then the 32-bit deb with dpkg
--force-architecture...

Another way of doing it is to install a minimal 32-bit system in
Virtualbox-ose and run your Skype and other 32-bit stuff there when
you need it.
