The other solutions are very complicated also for advanced users and 
most likely not worth the trouble.

Reinstalling is probably faster and easier, especially if you already 
have good backups of your data and configs.

There is also little incentive in improving them as the number of i386 
installs that are worth cross-grading is probably quite low and 
decreasing daily.

Kind regards,
Andrei
