Is there a "catalog" anywhere of the known issues involved in running 32-bit binaries under amd64? If not, perhaps we should start one somewhere, maybe in Wiki form(?), so that people could contribute their bug reports/analyses, suggestions for possible approaches to fix them, actual patches, workarounds, etc. For me, personally, it's the Sun JDK 1.5.0 that I'd like to be able to run in 32-bit, since I've encountered major memory consumption issues in the 64-bit port which have yet to be addressed. -- Conrad J.
