While certainly an interesting way to get to know the systems, cross
compile environments are not always the cleanest. All of these packages
except for kernel (and some hardware pieces not needed for AMD64 systems)
are already built and available for x86_64. Kernel is an interesting
beast, and currently being worked on. Target for AMD64 packages is
generally recognized as x86_64

6. use --target=x86_64, or download existing builds if you would rather
not eat up the CPU time.
If there are any other issued you run across, please feel free to ping me
on them, and I will look into them.
Thanks,
