This is a wrong statement. 32-bit Linux does support files bigger than 2GB.
It's NetBackup binaries compiled with ancient libraries that do not support
big files.
And 32 bit has nothing to do with 2GB limit, you are confusing different
numbers here. Address space on a 32 bit system is 4GB, but it does not
limit file sizes.
