(I assume you mean 64-bit apps in a 64-bit environment here)

I don't know the exact details, but I'm assuming that there's some
form of architecture field in the ELF header of all the executable
binaries (including libraries). I do know that the dynamic loader, ld,
has been modified to examine this header, and look for libraries in
different directories depending on what architecture it's trying to
link with.

The only thing I can suggest is running ldd on the executable,
working out what libs it really wants, and supplying them. I can't
remember exactly where the 32-bit libs should go, but that shouldn't
be hard to work out (dpkg -L on the compatibility package will tell
you). You'll probably have to unpack the 32-bit packages by hand with
dpkg-deb -x, and then copy the .so files you want into the right
place.
