What exactly are the problems you've been seeing?  All the build hosts
that I use for OE nowadays are x86-64 and I haven't experienced any
breakage of the kind that you hint at.  I don't think I've ever tried to
build for an avr32 target but I do compile regularly for i586 and
various kinds of arm.
