You should be able to have both gcc-2.96 and gcc-3.0 installed at the same time, *but* you cannot have g++-2.96 and g++-3.0 installed at the same time because the required development version of the runtime libraries is different and conflicting for the two. >> doubt ia32 binaries can run on a stock Debian system at the moment without >> some additional work.

The kernels I deliver in the prepackaged kernel-image packages have the ia32 subsystem enabled. Therefore, I would expect any statically-linked ia32 executables that make no other assumptions about the availability of ia32 bits in the filesystem to work ... but I haven't checked that. Anything that needs shared libraries will require some hand-crafting of the right pieces for now, we are currently discussing how best to handle this for the Debian woody release, since the dpkg team doesn't want to work on a general solution until after woody releases.
