The dump was created on a 32 bit system, is stored on a 32 bit
system and I am trying to restore on (the first) 32 bit system, again.

Both the backed-up & the storage system have Debian's 2.2.48-1
version of xfsdump.

I would like to avoid hacks like this if possible at all. That is asking
for trouble, especially when the root file system is concerned :/
