(source database on Linux/i386, contemplating chances to restore
backup on Linux/amd64)

Technically it really IS possible, but I can't imagine investing the
time to be able to do so.

We did this by installing the 32 bit libraries and making a 32 bit
build which ran under the 64 bit OS.

True. But that would only work on 64/32 split OSes where the chipsets
