Yes. 4.0.5 is 32bit only. I'll let Matt explain why he releases an amd64 package that only has 32bit binaries.
Basically, it allows people running a 64-bit OS to install euphoria binaries.
But why can't they just install the 32-bit package? Does the 64bit package include a multiarch setup (32bit glibc and so on) to allow the binaries to run on an otherwise "pure" 64bit setup?
If not, how is this any different from installing the 32bit package?
(I'm used to rpms, where you can normally - and easily - install both the i386 (designed for pure 32bit systems) and amd64 packages on a 64bit system without any trouble.)
