kylix is a 32-bit application and therefore it uses the 32-bit
libaries.

We have to set of 32-bit glibc libraries:
- i586 ones
- i686 ones

The difference is in threading support (read the manual on Update) and
also the i586 ones contain some compatibility code for broken
applications.

If setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL does not help, then kylix is really
broken,
