Building a 64bit kernel with 32bit userspace should be pretty 
straightforward with crossdev (not meaningfully different from building an 
ARM kernel on an x86 host). Building a 64bit userspace while running a 
32bit userspace is a bit trickier. There's some support for building a new 
system with ROOT=/target, but not everything would build like that the 
last time I tried (building for ARM on x86).
