Download the x86 (not x86_64) Lenny minimal installation CD. Install 
from it, then run the following commands:

aptitude install gawk m4 bison flex texinfo build-essential subversion 
linux-image-2.6-amd64 libc6-dev-amd64 gcc-4.1-multilib
aptitude purge mawk

Then the main system will be 32-bit, but there will be a 64-bit kernel 
and enough 64-bit libraries to run simple 64-bit applications. And the 
compiler accepts the "-m64" switch, so that you can even compile them.
