All the major 64 bit linux distros have a mixture of 32 and 64 bit libraries
available. OpenOffice, for example, is still 32 bit only for every linux
distro. Wine is a 32 bit Windowscompatibility layer, so not sure why 64
needed there. Sometimes, a 64 bit version isn't included in a distro,
because not all the plugins for an app are 64 bit yet. -Eric
