Most computer architectures are 32 or 64 bits, but you have a 31 bit one?

Hang how? How do you use libcurl then? What libcurl version is this? How did
you build the lib?

So why do you do it?

How did you get libcurl in the first place? If you're using a lib delivered by
your Linux distro, why don't you ask your Linux distro provider? The curl
project provides (lib)curl as source code and you can easily build your own
from this package for your OS of choice.

If you build it yourself, why don't you simply build a plain and simple 64bit
version if you run 64bit? I don't even understand how your app can be 32bit in
a 64bit environment. And what do you mean with libcurl being 64bit but your
app isn't?

curl needs no "compat package" as it already is compatible with itself!
