This was IZ 2070 in project gridengine.

It is very important that we test our 32-bit libraries on 64-bit platforms.  A
segfault was discovered by an important customer by running the sol-x86 binaries
on a sol-amd64 platform.  Had we been testing the 32-bit binaries on 64-bit
platforms, we would have found the segfault immediately.

Could be implemented as a testsuite commandline option "-32".
If this option is set, install only 32bit binaries,
probably it is required to set links from the 32bit to 64bit in
$SGE_ROOT/[bin|lib|utilbin|examples/jobsbin]

And maybe the host_conf_get_arch and resolve_arch have to respect this.
Also the start_source_bin!
