Could you give me some pointers regarding building a 64 bit Xen
hypervisor on a 32 bit linux system, or do I need to build it on a 64
bit system?

I've found the XEN_TARGET_ARCH setting in the makefile which looks like
setting it to x86_64 might be the right direction, but I'm trying to
determine if there's an "official" way of doing it.
