GOT IT!
The method I explained over there should work on any distribution bundled with GCC 4.0 .
Following is the method to make ivan work on an AMD64 architecture running with a 64bits kernel.
well, I hope you really wanna play, but if you do : here we go.
Actually IVAN is Neither GCC 4.0 compatible NOR AMD64 compatible.
GCC 4.0 fix is just explained over there.
The AMD64 fix could be simple : do not compile with amd64 specific instructions since your processor can handle both 32 bits and 64 bits instruction set. But actually, there is a problem : all libraries that uses ivan should be 32 bits too!
So let's set up a false 32 bits system to run 32 bits executables.
to do that, follow those steps:

but do NOT install a sid because Debian sid is an unstable version. Prefer a Debian stable or an Ubuntu Breezy Badger.
Then, if you choosed a GCC 4.0 distribution, apply the steps of the previous fix.
And it has other benefits too : you will be able to install Macromedia Flash and mplayer with the w32codecs.
it works by me!
good luck!
