Yes, I plan on it, after I build the 32-bit version and sign all the executables.
As for the user's guide, a little blurb of text like the following might

If you're Linux distribution doesn't package edbrowse, but you'd still
like to use it without going through the hassle of building it yourself, you
can find statically-linked executables for Linux on the edbrowse home page.
These require no external dependencies.  Just fetch the executable
appropriate for your architecture, copy it to one of the directories
listed in your $PATH environment variable, and run it.

So if links change, they only have to change in one place.

I've also used it under SCO Unix and Solaris, not to mention all of the
BSDs.  Perl is pretty ubiquitous.
