No, I use a different dynamic linker (/lib/ld-linux.so.2 x /lib64/ld-linux.so.2)
but I use the same /etc/ld.so.cache and ld.so.conf.
With the cache ids, I use any cache id | 0x100 for 64bit libraries.

Ok, fine. I thought it will be like that. So I'll sit now and hack in the
32/64bit support again and duplicates removal as well.
Will get back to you with an updated version soon.
