Hello,

sorry for all those noise.
fglrx just can not work on a 64/32 mix architecture (which is at all not
a good idea, but nevermind..). Upstream does not support it and we also
do not want to.
It is possible to build the module on 64/32, but it fails to work _at all_
If we would apply the patch to let fglrx build on this ugl^Wmix
architecture, people will run in other errors and may think, that in
general fglrx would run on it, which is simply not the case (ACK by AMD).
