This is kinda getting OT.  But why do you think its "utterly trivial?"
Also I found this on the Debian AMD64 page
---Minimalistic AMD64 runtime support for i386
The official i386 distribution actually includes minimalistic AMD64support, consisting of a 64bit kernel, gcc-3.4 able to create 64bitbinaries and the amd64-libs package to run third-party amd64 binarieswith native shared libraries.---
So somebody thinks Debian proper can do this.  Try installing thegcc-3.4 package and see if it works.
