[maemo-developers] Is Ubuntu 64 bit compatible with Scratchbox and Maemo SDK?

[From: tz]

That was the problem.  It is documented under "maintenance" in the
scratchbox install near the bottom (after all those things which would
break the maemo/nokia install).

I filed a documentation bug report so they add that to the manual/64
bit install section of INSTALL.txt.  Apparently the debs will do it
automatically, but they are i386 so get a wrong architecture message I
did not want to override, and the tarballs worked fine - at least
until you reboot.  I knew about the mounts, and binfmt_misc.ko was
being loaded, but I didn't know about the script, so I just did the
mount-all.
