As you noticed, it does not work.
This file is bit-dependent.

struct group_entry {
…
     ARTNUM      high;       /* High article number in the group. */
     ARTNUM      low;        /* Low article number in the group. */
     ARTNUM      base;       /* Article number of the first entry in the
                                .IDX index file for the group. */
     int         count;      /* Number of articles in group. */
     int         flag;       /* Posting/moderation status. */
…
};

struct index_entry {
…
     off_t       offset;
     int         length;
…
};

/* Write out the index entry. */
offset = (article->number - data->base) * sizeof(struct index_entry);

ARTNUM (in fact unsigned long) and int do not have the same length. 
Structures will not have the same size.

Do you have the article spool?  What is its format?
I hope it is in tradspool because otherwise, I fear you will encounter 
the same problem between 32 & 64 bits.

If you are using tradspool, makehistory will be able to rebuild your 
history and overview files.
