I've got the scoop here from the man who makes the upstream package on
debian for gdb64.

There is a valid config consisting of a 64-bit kernel and a 32-bit user
space. In such an environment, the default is 32-bit executables, but 64-bit
ones also work.

Thus, a 64-bit Java would go nicely with a 64-bit gdb for debugging jni

Sure you can run it on a 32-bit system.  You just need a 64-bit
kernel.  This is less common than it used to be - more people will
just use the entire 64-bit userspace - but it still happens.
