I run 32-bit, and tested my theorem by setting my default lib path through crle to the 64-bit path, and hosed the box predictably to the extent that I had to boot from CD and mop up the pieces ;-) Been there many times before with crle, and enjoyed every minute of the self-induced stress :-) Thanks and regards...
