Don't think so. I have a tickless kernel running in a C700N VIA chip (32bit), and it seems fine. I built LFS-6.3 using the LiveCD as the host and I am not sure how that kernel was configured. But subsequently, I have built several major apps: Xorg, Firefox, Kernel-2.6.22.9 and 2.6.23, Asterisk, Samba etc etc... Nothing apparently is failing due to the kernel. And it certainly builds fine on a 32bit system.
