I want to make it available soon, but don't expect that it'll help you
much.  The (non)working bridges are just a bit of all the pain; more
patches are necessary, and even with them you won't be able to load a
document.  Of course, if you want to help with the porting, you are very
welcome and I'll be happy to support you as much as I can!

If you just need to get the compilation faster, I'd recommend you either
to use icecream (http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=icecream) on all
your machines and run a distributed build, or to setup a 32bit Linux
installation in a directory on the 64bit machine, chroot there with
linux32 and run the compilation.

For the icecream solution I'd recommend you to build using ooo-build
(http://go-oo.org/), it has --with-gcc-speedup=icecream configure switch.
Icecream can use the AMD64 machines for 32bit builds by itself.

If you do not want to use the distributed build, let's say that you have
64bit system in the root (/) and 32bit system in /32bit subdir (can be
also another partition) on the 64bit machine.  Then do:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig"
unset DISPLAY
linux32 chroot /32bit

and run the 32bit compilation there.

Jan
