But as a fallback, 32bit binaries should be fine.
It should work in principle. Just set "platform=linux" before calling mtx-update.lua and disable '--make'. (You could in principle also call rsync manually.) And then all you need to do is set the PATH to binaries. The problem is that unless something changed, mtxrun will most likely be causing you some troubles and will insist in fetching x86_64 (I'm not sure how to completely avoid that).
