I do this all the time and it works, however the most common problem is not
having all the 32 bit libraries installed, eg, glibc, where you will have
the 64 bit equivalents installed on the system by default. Installing them
usually presents no issue as long as the 64 bit ones are under /lib64 and 32
bit ones are under /lib.
