My guess is that the version of gcl from which Axiom+Aldor was
produced does not specify the appropriate gcc option (-m32 ?) to
ensure that the object file that is created from the Aldor lisp
output can be linked with the Axiom+Aldor binary.

I run Axiom with Aldor on my AMD64 system but I have compiled
both Axiom and Aldor from source on this system. If you absolutely
need a binary install, then I could create a tarball from this
system. Otherwise, I would recommend compiling Axiom from current
sources (I like the SourceForge svn build-improvements branch plus
the bug fixes from wh-sandbox branch.). You can then download the
amd64-bit version of Aldor from the link at the bottom of page:
http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/Aldor
Then you must follow the procedure at
http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/AldorForAxiom
to link Axiom with Aldor.

Probably when the lisp generated by Aldor inside Axiom+Aldor is
compiled to object code, the object code defaults to a 64-bit
format that is incompatible with Axiom compiled for a 32-bit
system. It might be possible to get around this by specifying
different options for the compile. But I think you would be
happier running both Axiom and Aldor in full 64-bit mode.
