The fix that has been merged into fglrx is still incomplete in regards to 32 bit compatibility on a 64 bit host OS.
If you want to run old games like Counter Strike 1.6 on the Intel GPU, you can't.
That's because of 2 reasons:
1) The path to #OTHER_ARCH# DRI libs is missing (/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri)
2) When doing:

amdconfig --px-igpu
cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu_GL.conf

it shows that ldconfig should count in /usr/i386-linux-gnu/mesa as a valuable path for libraries, but this path does not exist.
Instead, this path should be used: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/
Symlinking the wrong path to the right one by hand is a nice hack, but it's a hack.
I'm a little disturbed that nobody ever noticed this mistake. Maybe I'm the only one who likes to play old games on the IGPU.
