Conversion of an elf32-i386 format object to an elf64-x86-64 format object
doesn't convert x86 code to x86_64 code.

BTW, what are sigaltstack-i386.i and sigaltstack-x86_64.i?

Traditionally, *.i files are C source code files that should not be
preprocessed, but you use them as if they were object files to be fed
straight into linking.

Looks like you are trying to use an x86 code as an x86_64 code in an
elf64-x86-64 executable.  Unless you take special measures, it won't work,
and it's hard to imagine a situation when you'd need such a weird
construction.
