I build the x86 U-Boot target on an x86_64 i7 Linux (Fedora) system using
the standard GNU gcc package. There was an issue with the Makefile and
there was a need to manually create some toolchain symlinks, but the was
rectified some time ago. Are you using the latest mainline U-Boot from
git.denx.de? If so, what errors are you getting - please provide a copy of
your build output.

Are you planning on running U-Boot on an x86_64 machine? If so, you will
need to create code to support that - Current U-Boot only supports 32-bit
x86 targets. The sandbox target (designed for testing on a Linux host, not
for downloading onto a board) should run on an x86_64 host.

Please provide more detail - what have you tried? What was the result? The
build scripts should work as is on a properly configured x86_64 build machine

Graeme

P.S. Please stop top posting - thanks
