Matthijs, That is currently the solution I use for x86. The drawbacks are slower compilation performance (cross compilers running on 64 bit empirically seem faster) and other overhead caused by chrooting. The approach also does not extend to other architectures like ARM. Essentially this approach is a lightweight emulation; taken to its fullest extent you would be running QEMU to build for these other architectures.
