Another option is to install opera 32-bit (--force-architecture, no
chroot) with the necessary 32-bit libs, which works fine with the 32-bit
java jre. I did this following instructions that I found somewhere on
the net (I have ia32-sun-java6 installed) and it works fine. Note that
9.25 doesn´t seem to work with flashplugin, but 9.50 beta does. IIRC,
you have to change the startup script slightly. I think that there is a
64-bit Opera in the works, but have no idea when it will be available.
