Please read the FAQ

And guess what, if you can boot the same 32bit userland on both the
kernels you mentioned above, that might be a clue that 32bit userland
*works* with 64bit kernel, huh? ;)
OTOH, if that wasn't the case, I wonder what 64bit kernel would be
used for...
Once and for all: there is no need for 64bit userland binaries and you
can't build them anyway.
