[Openembedded-users] Multiple Cross architectures.

I've been tinkering with support for compiling Xen using open embedded.
I have most of it working now and can build images including it (still
getting all the right python bits in place).  The binaries I'm
generating are all 32 bit.  Xen supports a scenarios where you can cross
build the hypervisor for 64 bit and run a 32bit Dom0.  That's ideally
what I'd like to try.  I've searched for examples but can't find any
that multiple cross compilation environments.  I can probably build a
toolchain and hack it in separately in the bb file but that seems
gross.  

Is something like this possible in OE?  In summary I want a mostly 32bit
cross environment. I also need a 64bit (is that even supported in OE)
cross environment (probably compilers only) to build just the hypervisor
pieces.  At this point I'm not even sure the support is there to do even
x86_64 let alone multiple cross environments but I thought I'd ask.

Thanks in advance for any advice or help!

Mike
