Hi Eric,

Apologies, I'm terribly sorry for the slow response on this one.

ORWT can be used to test 32-bit on a 64-bit machine using the following steps:

    build-webkit --debug ARCHS=i386
    export VERSIONER_PERL_PREFER_32_BIT=yes
    old-run-webkit-tests --debug --32-bit

[ The second step (the export) is really a workaround for a bug.  As I understand it, one of the perl scripts compiles & loads a couple of modules, and these really should be being compiled based on the platform you are running on alone (since perl runs in 64-bit by default, the module should be compiled as 64-bit).  Currently however the modules are instead being compiled for the platform you are testing, in this case 32-bit. ]

Hope this helps!

many thanks,
G.
