Not if they're marked as a 64-bit component that goes into a 64-bit part
of the file system. Then they're "special."

It can't. That requires a 64-bit package, as I said. The rules are that
a 32-bit package can contain only 32-bit components but a 64-bit package
can contain both 64-bit and 32-bit components.
