OK. Thanks. The latter issue about the symlink was obviously due to my 
lack of understanding of the "ln" tool. The symlink is in place. I 
actually think it was already created by the sarge-AMD64 packages. I 
assume they are updated since the "Notes for AMD64 users" was written(?).

It looks like this (the other way around: lib64 links to lib):

bash# ls -ld /usr/X11R6/lib*
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 3120 Apr  5 15:16 /usr/X11R6/lib
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    3 Apr  5 03:30 /usr/X11R6/lib64 -> lib


The linking error was because I didn't have these packages installed 
yet: 	ia32-libs ia32-libs-dev

I installed those, and also installed: lib32gcc1 and lib32stdc++6 
because it seemed to me I would them as well. If not for fglrx, probably 
 for other things later on.

But now I still get this:

dpkg-shlibdeps: failure: ldd on 
`debian/fglrx-driver/emul/ia32-linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2' gave 
error exit status 1
dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 256
make: *** [binary] Error 1

Any ideas would be welcome...
