I found a workaround, at least in precise: install ia32-libs_20090808ubuntu26_amd64.deb, from oneiric: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/amd64/ia32-libs/download. In my precise installation, this version installs and runs fine, once the libraries it depends on are also installed. All of those are available in the precise repositories.
