1. The existing CMUCL *32-bit* Linux binaries work just fine 
   on 64-bit Linux kernels, at least, with RedHat 2.4.21-20.EL
   and kernels built from 2.6.20. I use them at work all the time.

   I'm not sure about Ubuntu, but assuming Ubuntu didn't do anything
   to break execution of 32-bit Linux binaries on 64-bit kernels,
   it should work there, too.

2. There *is* some work in progress to get a native AMD64 version
   working, but it's been somewhat backburnered due to lack of time.
   You might ask on the "cmucl-devel" list for more info.

Yes, I can confirm that running 32-bit CMUCL on 64-bit Linux
kernels works just fine.

I found on some versions I had to run it as follows

linux32 --3GB lisp

otherwise it segfaulted in certain cases.
