AFAIK you can't build on 64 bit machines with the gcc 2.95.3 cross-compiler, 
since it's so old that it doesn't have host support for those "new" 
platforms. You have to use the gcc 4 cross-compiler.

I've heard mixed reports whether that works or not. You definitely have to 
pass the "--use-32bit" flag to Haiku's configure script to have a chance at 
all, as neither Haiku itself nor our tools we use for building are 64 bit 
ready yet.
