 In best /. fashion, I haven't read the links yet, but you're saying
it's ok to run 64-bit userspace on a 32-bit kernel ?  I've used
linux32 to enforce a 32-bit personality, but I've never managed to
get it to work in the other direction.

 Greg, thanks for posting this.  I look forward to reading the
references you've provided (and also to finally saying goodbye to
the testsuites on the initial toolchain builds which I assume will
go with a cross-compile).

 I thought you used to dislike bi-arch on x86_64 ? (/me likes both
pure64 _and_ bi-arch, but not at the same time ;-)
