According to AMD that's not the case.  32-bit apps on a 64-bit OS are fine.  
Where Linux may have issues with this is with libraries.  If your libraries 
are 64-bit then they expect datastructures of different sizes than if they 
are 32-bit.  Most folks are building in separate datatypes depending on how 
you compile, but if your apps or libs don't support this then you get a 
datatype mismatch and stuff breaks.  Or something like that.  Statically 
compiled programs should work regardless.
