nspluginwrapper-flash "cannot execute binary file"

While I would prefer to use swfdec, it is a bit slow and cpu intensive at the moment so I'm going with nspluginwrapper. I used it once before and uninstalled it. Now, once reinstalled with yoaurt, runnning  nspluginwrapper -v -a -i gives me:

Auto-install plugins from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

I just did a check and all the permissions are correct. I've also tried nspluginwrapper-ubuntu.

$ file /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin 
/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

It's 32-bit.

$ grep IA32 /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y
CONFIG_IA32_AOUT=y

As in thread.

[reasons // ~] grep IA32 /usr/src/linux-2.6.25-rc9-vaio/.config
# CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION is not set

Sounds like a good time to recompile the kernel.
