Absolutely no issue running on Fedora Core x86-64 for me.

Of course, the 32-bit/PAE36 SDL and other libraries are loaded in /lib
(and 48-bit/PAE52 in /lib64), and the nVidia drivers have loaded the 32-
bit libGL (along with the 48-bit ones).

The last time I checked, Debian used a chroot environment for 32-
bit/PAE36 libraries/binaries.
