I hope this not. As (iirc) I already said, it's impossible to combine x86 with anything else that's not 100% source and binary compatible with itself... The reason is actually simple: x86 is, or at least was, the reference architecture for almost all programmers.

Witih amd64 becoming so widespread, this will change.

There are too many packages that works *just* on x86, both at source and binary level.

Doesn't the amd64 team have a set of 32-bit compat libs just to run binary packages? When running 32-bit code, isn't amd64 basically just a glorified athlon-xp?
