cache format is not platform neutral. When you change platform you need
to wipe your cache.

platform parameters:
 - Byte order
 - 32/64-bit (size of time_t and a few other data types)
 - off_t size

Exception: Going from 32 to 64-bit off_t size on 32-bit platforms is
supported in 2.5.STABLE10 and later as part of the support of caching
files >2GB. But this does not apply when your platform is 64-bits.

It is possible to write a tool translating the cache between different
architectures, but I doubt it's worth the effort. Every single cache
file needs to be rewritten.
