Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

Please provide a 64bit kernel for the i386 architecture. The current GCC configured for biarch tries to run 64bit binaries and fails if it cannot execute these binaries. The alternative would be to disable the biarch toolchain for i386 and modify all packages currently build-depending on the -multilib packages on i386. Setting the target to gutsy-beta. Debian currently does have such a kernel in stable, testing and unstable.

Moving milestone forward. However, is this fixable for 7.10 at this point? I suspect it's rather too late for a new kernel flavour.
