Well, I can't say for sure. You have to make sure that your system is indeed 
using the proper executable and the proper libs. If you have things mixed you 
can have a serious problem.

AFAIK everything is put in /compat/linux ... so deinstalling it wouldn't bring 
in too much problem. However, unless you have serious disk space problems, I 
can't see why risk to break stuff if it is not needed.

Correct me if any of the above things are wrong, of course :)

Cheers,
