Hi , I would appreciate if you could me point to a document or explain , how 32 bit programs are recognised and handled in the 64 bit Linux Kernel on X86_64 ( Opteron ) or IA_64 ( Itanium ) processors . How & when is the processor mode switched for the 32 bit binaries ? Which part in the kernel sources deals with this ? Also what would be the packages required to run the 32 bit programs on these 64 bit architechtures ? Kindly reply directly to me as I'am not subscribed to this list .
