I just wonder how some userland applications are able to use 64-bit capabilities although they are started by an ELF 32-bit binary. I observed this when installing vmware: Even if the binary is an ELF32, it is able to provide an 64Bit ABI to its guest OS. Until now I thought a process is either 32bit or 64bit. Seems this is not true. Has some one a good link or entry point about this topic? I could not find a matching keyword to search for.
