Restoring a Full Cluster on a Different Architecture (32 x 64)

Dear PostgreSQL Hackers,<br /><br />We got a PG 8.1 on a Debian 64 bits, which does a full backup (PITR) daily.<br
/>Thenwe installed a Debian 32 bits (actually, it's on VMWare) and wanted to restore the previous PG cluster on it. <br
/>Asthere are a lot of indexes, specially GiST, "pg_dump" and "pg_restore" are not viable - will take a lot of time!<br
/><br/>Well, the fact is that we've got the message below on "postmaster" start attempt: <br /><br />"WARNING:
CalculatedCRC checksum does not match value stored in file.<br /> Either the file is corrupt, or it has a different
layoutthan this program<br /> is expecting.  The results below are untrustworthy."<br /><br />As the architecture on
bothLinuxes are different (32 and 64 bits), I think "PGDATA/global/pg_control" might contains 64 bit data such that the
32bits binary won't recognize or even mispell it. Am I right? <br /><br />What could be done in order to fix it? Is
thereany kind of application to translate it or the only solution was to "pg_dumpall" and "pg_restore" the cluster?<br
