from some test runs i did:
(all tests on FreeBSD - stable amd64)
	- file a.out
	  a.out: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1
		 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
	- did NOT do ldconfig -32 /usr/lib32 and a 32bit a.out run ok
	- /usr/bin/ldd a.out
	  ldd: a.out: can't read program header
          ldd: a.out: not a dynamic executable
	- using a 32bit ldd actually runs/executes a.out

could someone shed some light at this magic? :-)
