I also keep the 32 bit part of my system for the sake of Firefox

the Openoffice binary has its own private copy of libstdc++.

I've noticed several times that running ldconfig revises soft links to
point to the wrong dynamic libraries.  This is about the only time I've
needed to remove old versions of libraries.  I don't know what is going
on there.
