Compiling martian and martian-utils (Agere modem drivers) under x64?

Hello again. Yes I've seen that those packages are marked as i686 only, but we all know what makepkg tells us once we try to compile those. Furthermore, I've seen on the Ubuntu forums that it can be done. And I'm not leaving my x64 install (or any other OS installation that works fine) just because I need my analog dial-up
modem for 2 or 3 weeks every year

Anyway. When I try to compile martian-utils, I get a series of errors. The output looks like this:

I believe the first error here is

ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf32-i386 (ltmdmobj.o) to format elf64-x86-64 (marscore.o) is not supported

Anybody have any idea where I should start?

P.S. Coucouf on the Ubuntu forums claimed that one needs the packages libc6-i386 and libc6-dev-i386. However, I don't know which packages in 64-bit Arch these are.

Thanks in advance!

Only the best is good enough.
