32bit.

As  per  Luigi's  hint/question  I  built  Luatex from SVN (apparently
./build.sh  was  all  there was to it :-)) and used that binary. As it
seems, that already did the trick. I haven't done extensive tests yet,
but that will follow.

If you tell me what the needed steps are to get you the binaries build
in  a  way that could be distributed, I would be willing to do that as
long as my/our CentOS 5 installation is still up and running :-)

(Depending on how often that needs to be done, since it's a machine on
my workplace, so I can't access it anytime I like ...)
