I have played a bit with AMD64 in 64bit mode and binaries from x86 system - I think you may run these buy putting corresponding libraries into /compat/ia32/ (which is *I think* serves as a root for x86 compat files, similar to linux emulation). I'm unsure about this thought - perhaps someone more knowledgeable should make a comment here. regards, M.
