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.
