Don't let'em. I use CVSup on both my ix86 and amd64 machine. (IIRC the latter
uses a 32bit binary, but it surely works anyway.)
I think these are static binaries, so they would probably work on your
machines unchanged.
Hmm, well, not quite:
$ ldd bin/cvsup linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7f5b000)
libXaw.so.7=> /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.7 (0xb7eff000) libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0xb7ee9000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0xb7edb000) libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0xb7e8b000)
libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0xb7e82000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0xb7e6a000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7d9e000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb7d64000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7c2c000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0xb7c16000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7c12000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f71000)
(this is the ix86 machine, I don't have the other one handy)
