Even though I know this is asking for it I want to test the new nVidia

amd64 wants it branded elf-amd64-64.  This file comes from them as a
precompiled object so rebranding seems to be my only option.

Uh it really is an i386 binary, "rebranding" won't magically change all
the code.

All I want to do is make it compile so I can test it (like I said I
know it is inherently dangerous)

It's not inherently dangerous, it's not possible. What you need to do is disassemble the code(probably illegal), port it to amd64, and reassemble it. It would require intimate knowledge of i386 asm and amd64 asm. The architectures are more different than you might expect.
