Yes, this is exactly what I meant. Furthermore, consider that TL currently supports five 64-bit Unix platforms and that one of them, 'x86_64-linux', stands for zillions of Linux distributions. Finding out whether all required 32-bit libraries are availabe everywhere is nearly impossible. I'm not even aware of all Linux distributions.
