64-Bit Mandriva and 32-Bit apps - question

Hello,

 

I was just wondering, I recently installed Mandriva 64-bit on my father-in-law's new computer and then went to install a couple apps that need to compile, like parallels, with the kernel. I got an error for various kernel source files that it says aren't installed. This brings me to my question:

 

Is there any drawback to running 64-bit linux and then installing 32-bit apps where there isn't a 64-bit version or source files available? (ok, 2 questions) How do I go about installing these? ( I have the 64-bit source files installed and other 64-bit apps compile properly)

 

Thanks
