Yes, I have the packages needed to open a 32 bit file in my 64 bits 
distro (ubuntu-server): .
linux32 ia32-libs lib32gcc1 lib32stdc++6 lib32z1 libc6-dev-i386 lib32bz2-dev

But the fpc compiler version I'm using have bugfixes introduced by Joost 
that are needed in my application, so I will also need a 32 bit fpc 
compiler with that inside it...
... or I am wrong?
