Copy the 32 bit binaries from a 32 bit box. You'd be surprised how
well this works!
I once had the disconcerting realization that Someone Had Installed
Our RedHat IA-32 build on an AMD-64 (Opteron) system.
Nobody noticed until I was trying to add a C-based stored function,
and discovered, to my horror, that the binaries that had been running
fine (including Slony-I replication!) were for the wrong architecture
and a different flavour of Linux (compiled for Red Hat, running on
SuSE). I couldn't believe it had worked :-).
