Ya - I know they're different architectures.  Where the software doesn't
touch the hardware, though, they're frequently interchangable as long as the
kernel versions match.  The media-management stuff, for example, all
compiled 32-bit on ia-64 hardware is, strangely, working just fine since
it's running through the OS layer (compiled for the opteron) to the hardware
- just not the dbext (which is futher removed from the hardware).

Mark, AMD64 and IA-64 are different architectures. You cannot run
something compiled for IA-64 on AMD64

Just an observation. Sorry, I have no solution for your problem.
