There is a difference between creating a toolchain and supporting all packages 
for that arch and
every possible ABI you can crosscompile.

Currently i only support amd64 since thats the only ARCH i know and have access 
to. If i get enough
details to implement other ARCHes and some way to test it there, i might try it 
for those other
ARCHes too.
