Your program may have some 32-bit dependency, like "4 +" instead of
"cell+".  You could fix that.

SwiftForth is 32 bits on either platform.

You could compile a 32-bit version of Gforth even on a 64-bit
platform.  IIRC you need to configure with

./configure CC="gcc -m32"
#and then
make

You may need to install 32-bit libraries for that to work.
