it does, I am using it, and I really want to use it on amd64 too but it
doesn't work there.
This is a prime example of splitting up securelevel, because I really
want to run my server at securelevel 1 but I can't, if I want to run X
too. While theoretically perhaps running X makes the system insecure, in
practice it still is a safer system if only it could run on level 1.
