32 or 64-bit kernels? All debian tools? Mix of debian and upstream?

My only run-in with the problem was with 32-bit kernels cross compiled
from x86. Though lately I'm using a gcc-3.1 based XC and it builds functional
64-bit kernels.

This is definately becoming one of those HPPA urban legends. I shall add
it to my TODO list and verify that I can build a 32/64-bit kernel
natively and cross with all the latest upstream cvs bits.
