According to http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2315
using the package from http://www.squeaksource.com/SystemTracing
an old (but potentially interesting) method would be :

  SystemTracer64 writeImage: 'clone-64bit.image'

et voila ... image cloned to a 64bit image.

In practice it may be a little bit more complex.

For example I open Squeak4.6-15102.image,
then fileIn the SystemTracing package (Monticello) that works.

Loading SystemTracingV3-dtl.29.mcz works

It has an interesting looking script : traceTo64Script

"This is a script that can be filed into a 32bit image to trace that image
to 64bit format ..."

But the above method creates for me the error

Tracing and writing 421965 objects ... MessageNotUnderstood:isCompiledCode

If you manage to do this, I'd be interested in your experiences.
