64bit Tcl/Tk loading 32bit extensions

With the advent of 64 bit systems (running Linux) I have come up against
an issue that I'm not sure how to handle.
With a 64bit tclsh or wish, can I load 32bit extensions? I've been told
that you can do this in perl, but I'd certainly like to have this
ability in tcl. I ask because I have only a license to 32 bit sybase,
and I use sybtcl extensively, so I think I need to comile sybtcl as a
32bit extension.
Any and all help appreciated.

Whoever told you that you can do that in perl was  , because
you can't, not with perl, tcl or with any other language. What
might be possible is if you can get 64-bit client libraries, as the
32-64 bit bridge should be OK with a client-server app.
