For the rest of archs, is there some additional combos allowed in the chroot
method?

Thanks :-)

Why do you think that x86_64-64 can't do the same ? Provided the kernel can do 32-bit emulation (OK, that is probably not mandatory for pure64), both variants of x86_64 should have the same capabilities for cross-compiling.

For ppc, 'G5' macs (970 processors) need a 64-bit kernel anyway, so you have to go beyond the book to build the headers, C cross-compiler and binutils (only). Therefore, they can equally chroot while trying to build ppc64 multilib.
