Some of the libs are there (those required for mozilla and Open Office)
others are not since there are no apps in core that require them. With
no apps using them, they will not be fully tested. That said, Open
Office is 32bit as is mozilla, and I personally run 32bit flash plugin
and java. Games is a different issue, if you need to run 32bit games,
I am afraid you are out of luck. I would recommend a dual boot
environment. The issue is the 3D drivers have a kernel module
associated (dri) and that is 64bit. You cannot put a 32bit module in a
64bit kernel, and you cannot run 32bit 3D instructions in a 64bit
driver unless someone wants to step up and write a thunking layer...
So far most developers would prefer many other methods of torture.
