	64-bit distros are very popular today and there is a lot of people who have 
32-bit WINE installed with no problems - typically precompiled package. 
Compiling 32-bit WINE on 64-bit distro also isn't a problem in most distros.

	This is how I understood your problem. Either:

	1) Your version of SUSE have too old library or...
	2) Your version of SUSE have a broken library.

	Is this correct? Only thing that WINE can fix is detect too old or broken 
library at configure time. Everything else is up to maintainers of particular 
package for particular distro.
	I have 64-bit old Debian Etch (downloaded when Etch was in the testing 
branch) and modern WINE is working fine there - even precompiled 32-bit 
packages with newest WINE work correctly without any additional effort.
	If you need more help, please provide terminal output with errors.
	Thank you for using WINE.
