Is there a live CD I could run where I could benchmark amd64 vs. x32 (vs. x86) easily? (I only need gcc and glibc that support both/all.)

there is experimental gentoo stage3 for x32, so you can quickly test things out with it.

I was kind of hoping for a Debian or Fedora derivative, but maybe I'll have to learn Gentoo.
