That depends on how your 64-bit linux is set up.  If you *only* have the 
64-bit compilers on your Redhat installation then you will have used 
64-bit gcc and linked to 64-bit C/C++ runtime libraries regardless of 
the address model you used, and you should be fine.  From memory RHEL 5 
comes with only a 64-bit compiler installation, you have to specifically 
ask to install the 32-bit compilers, and you have to specifically switch 
to them in your config before it will use them.
