You should simply ignore the problem. (No, seriously.)
There is close to zero detectable performance difference between
software tuned for an i686 and whatever recent 32-bit system you use;
you actually get better results just using the amd64 mode and taking
advantage of the much higher baseline system spec.
Anything that is going to benefit significantly will tune itself at
runtime to the system, automatically, so you don't need to do anything
by hand. (Which is basically the kernel, libc, and a couple of crypto
libraries.)

Daniel
