8 I have to admit I have such an environment. Native AMD 64bit machines
9 (Dual Opteron and Athlon X2) with cross devs to i686 for Pentium M
10 machines, and C3 for a VIA epia boards.

12 I do not recall having any issues except:

14 1. OpenSSL required some hack
15 2. Had to make sure to compile kernels with 'make ARCH=...'
16
17 It may be I have simply not run into any other packages with
18 uname dependencies.
19
20 Oh wait, there was the ivtv driver. I think they fixed the problem
