I decided to give PTStitcher a go and it worked!

I used PanoTools 2.6b1.
You are right in your other post about it needing a 32 bit version of 
libpano12. I used the one which came with PanoTools and put it 
into /usr/lib32.  I also had complaints about libtiff.so.3 and libpng.so.2 
missing.

I grabbed libtiff.so.3 from my other 32 bit Gentoo installation and put it 
in /usr/lib32. I didn't have a 32 bit version of libpng.so.2 so I grabbed it 
from an RPM I downloaded (libpng-1.0.14-0.7x.4.i386.rpm) giving 
libpng.so.2.1.0.14 and also put it in /usr/lib32.

In summary, the libraries PTStitcher wanted were:-

        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libpano12.so => /usr/lib32/libpano12.so (0x5559c000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0x555d3000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0x556ea000)
        libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62 (0x5570c000)
        libtiff.so.3 => /usr/lib32/libtiff.so.3 (0x5572a000)
        libpng.so.2 => /usr/lib32/libpng.so.2 (0x5577c000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x55555000)
        libz.so.1 => /lib32/libz.so.1 (0x5579f000)
        libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.5 (0x557b0000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x55863000)


I am pleasantly surprised by all this. Right, got some stitching to do...
