Tomcat is pure Java, so runs in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The "virtual"
here is key - the VM isolates Java classes from the machine architecture. If
there's a Sun JVM available for your OS and architecture, Tomcat should run.
It may or may not run on other JVMs, but avoid the rather idiosyncratic GNU one
- we get fairly regular reports of issues with it.

If the libraries are pure Java, the architecture of the underlying system is
irrelevant.
