Unfortunately the x86 part of boinc is really hard coded, even if you have 64bit machine you will download many x86 apps, so this won't likely change anytime soon, unless somebody proves to me that every upstream project has a 64bit native application.
At the moment, without the ia32libs you won't be able to crunch at many projects, and this isn't an acceptable behavior.
If somebody points to me that every projects can crunch in a 64 bit environment I'll be glad to remove this dependency.
Otherwise we will have many reports about "cannot crunch on project x"

So this bug for now is "won't fix".
Please look at client/ cs_platforms. cpp file boinc.berkeley. edu/gitweb/ ?p=boinc- v2.git; a=blob; f=client/ cs_platforms. cpp;h=1312aa0cd 98afc608b3835a3 1b720416e051bdd 6;hb=HEAD
