adb on 64bit

there are two ways you can get adb to run on 64bit systems.

(1) install 32bit libraries
# apt-get install ia32-lib
this is messy, especially if you don't use many other 32bit apps, which you shouldn't.

(2) use adb 64bit version
download the single file from somewhere, like ftp://alionet-repository.no-ip.info/Linux/GeeksPhone/One/adb_64/adb
or, compile it yourself, which means a lot of garbage on my system, when i don't do any (android) development on my primary system.

i prefer (2) over (1).

now, we can have some adb fun:
# adb start-server
$ adb devices
$ ...
# adb kill-server
