we use 64bit distro + 32bit firefox on fc5. (haven't tried eclipse)
on x86_64 we do this daily or weekly:
yum upgrade
yum --enablerepo='core 32bit' --enablerepo='updates 32bit' upgrade
where the 32bit yum repo files are in /etc/yum.repos.d/ but are
disabled by default. the above auto-updates the full x86_64 distro, and
then the 32bit firefox. works well.
cheers,
