Just for the records, you need to compile and install a 32-bit consumer
daemon in your system if you want to trace 32-bit applications on a system
containing 32-bit and 64-bit applications. The session daemon will
take care of dispatching application to consumer daemons with the appropriate
bitness. So if you want to trace both 32-bit and 64-bit applications, you
need to have both 32-bit and 64-bit consumer daemons.

Thanks,

Mathieu
