ldconfig is smart enought to handle 32-bit and 64-bit API's from the
same ld.so.cache. That's not the problem. I beleive you can use a
different ld.so.conf (maybe .64 extension? can't remember).

%cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() { puts("Hello World!"); return 0; }
%gcc-3.0 -m64 hello.c
%./a.out
Hello World!
%file a.out
a.out: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, SPARC V9, version 1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
%ldd a.out
        libc.so.6 => /lib/64/libc.so.6 (0xfffff80000120000)
        /lib/64/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/64/ld-linux.so.2 (0xfffff80000000000)
%gcc-3.0 -v
...
gcc version 3.0.2 20010908 (Debian prerelease)


Note, I am also using a subreg-byte patch so that fpu works correctly.
And yes, I setup Debian to use /lib/64 instead of /lib64, but that's
just my preference, and required patching gcc and glibc (glibc 2.2.4).

If you are using the latest glibc, then the segv occurs in
ld-linux.so.2 (try executing it directory, you'll see), and I haven't
had time to diagnose it yet.
