Unlikely. First of all, x86-64 patch is not for x86 Oracle, don't even try applying it if your Oracle is 32-bit. Secondly, as far as I can tell, Oracle doesn't support 32-bit Oracle on 64-bit Linux (at least it's not a certified combination,) so you should expect all sorts of problems with such combo. Most likely you will need to hack the compiler and linker to properly compile and link 32-bit objects on 64- bit platform. Check those Metalink notes I recommended in my first reply. The rule for choosing the right architecture is like this:

32-bit Oracle on 32-bit OS is fine,
32-bit Oracle on 64-bit OS is problematic,   but usually possible with some effort, 64-bit Oracle on 32-bit OS won't run,
64-bit Oracle on 64-bit OS is fine.

So as long as you match the OS and Oracle bitness things should work just fine. As soon as you start mixing 32-bit with 64-bit expect extra effort on OS side to make it work.
