I think the install CD doesn't come with 32bit stuff. If you want to be
absolutely sure, add NO_LIB32=true to /etc/make.conf and rebuild the
system.

You can check the state of binaries with the file command:

$ file /bin/dd
/bin/dd: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), 
for FreeBSD 5.4-CURRENT (rev 2), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), 
stripped

To find all 32-bit binaries on your system:

find / -perm -100 -type f|xargs file|grep 32-bit|more

It is documented in the gcc info files. The GNU people in general don't
like manpages.

Yes.
