I have a pre-compiled 64bit kernel from Fedora11, and I can execute
both 32 and 64bit executables with it.
I have just built a new kernel (to test some PPS code), and I CANT
execute 32bit executables with it.
There must be some option I didnt check.
What is it?????

In the Executable formats menu there is an option (IA32 Emulation) to run
32bit binaries in 64bit land.

I am assuming you are using an Intel processor, have you enabled
CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION?
