How much source code actually cares whether pointers are 32 or 64 bits?
Clean written code should not care about pointers or integers are 32 or 64 bit or byte order. Code written in a higher language should run on any hardware, otherwise I call it "defect".
And concerning the memory usage: don't forget, mixing 32/64 bit shared libraries doubles the memory needs. Sharing of libraries only makes sense if they are really shared, otherwise you can link programs static. BTW: That's an illness on windows, where every application brings it's own "shared" library version x.y, that never becomes really shared.
