Recompile it from source to a 64-bit object file. You may also need to do some tweaking to the code bearing in mind that it is now 64-bit instead of 32-bit.

Are you aware, by the way, that $ORACLE_HOME/lib32 in 10g contains 32-bit libraries? Porting to 64-bit isn't a necessary pre-requisite to using Oracle 10g.
