fglrx will never work on this crap mix of amd64 kernel and i386

It's not crap, it's a generally supported and useful configuration.  If
fglrx-modules-dkms:amd64 was installable on i386 with amd64 as foreign
architecture, then I think this could be considered solved.  Possibly
fixing #693634 will do this.

We may have got different opionions about it, okay.

The problem is not building fglrx on this combination (easy patchable), but that it is working (from the closed source part of fglrx). Since AMD also do not want to support it in any way it is the best to not commit any patch that it is buildable on amd64/i386 mix, since users just would get an non-working system.
