AFAIK you can't mix the two in the same executable image.  If you are
stuck using a 32-bit-only library, you'll have to build all of the
Postgres server as 32-bit.  Note that this is probably not going to
cost all that much performance-wise, so I wouldn't recommend expending
any great amount of sweat to avoid it.
