We currently build a 32-bit version only. This version runs without problems on a 64-bit version of SuSE-Linux because SuSE-Linux does provide both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of PAM modules. It will run on 64-bit Debian if we disable PAM in our application by some configuration. (I cannot provide this program because it is a commercial application.) Currently the only use of /lib32/libpam.so.0 is to prevent an error from the dynamic linker. A 32-bit application linked with libpam.so.0 will start but cannot really use this library. The problem will occur with any application that was built on a 32-bit system. If it is possible to install a Debian package that was intended for 32-bit on a 64-bit system you could try this. Look for any package that depends on libpam0g. Otherwise you could compile an application that uses PAM on a 32-bit system and try to run the binary program on a 64-bit system. If you need some sample code, you could look into the source code of package hylafax-server, module hfaxd/User.c++.
