Yes, I'd go with multilib.

Do you know if there is any issues compiling DL (1.4 or 32bit) on a
64bit host system?  I just upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 32bit to Ubuntu
10.10 64bit, and I haven't tried a DL compile yet.

It's been while since I compiled anything static, but it seems like
the resulting binaries are a HUGE compared; we might have to switch
from a CD to a DVD distro.  Plus it seems like the memory requirements
of a static system may increase a lot too.

I'm not a static expert, so please correct me if if I'm wrong.
