While the 64-bit processors can run 32 bit code, the way it works, AFAIK
will not allow one to mix 32 bit code and 64 bit code in the same
userspace.  That is why 32 bit libraries don't work.  They work fine if
the program that is calling them is 32 bits, but a 64 bit program needs
64 bit libraries.
