32 and 64-bit linux binaries are identical

These are alternative links on the Download page:

files.arduino.cc/downloads/arduino-0021.tgz (32-bit)
files.arduino.cc/downloads/arduino-0021-2.tgz (64-bit)

By looking at librxtxSerial.so, they are both 64-bit.

What is the problem, do they not work?

The problem is they are both 64bit, which doesn't work on a 32bit machine:

To put it another way, arduino-0021.tgz at files.arduino.cc should match the copy hosted at arduino.googlecode.com.

As you did not fix the problem, I assume that you did not understand it, or didn't know how to fix it:

Problem:
http://files.arduino.cc/downloads/arduino-0021.tgz contains a 64-bit librxtx and a 32-bit avrdude. this does not make sense at all.

Solution:
you should just replace it with the correct archive from your google code page. ( http://arduino.googlecode.com/files/arduino-0021.tgz )
