Are you subscribed to the Nixpkgs channel? (I.e. "nix-channel > --add > http://nixos.org/releases/nixpkgs/channels/nixpkgs-unstable; nix-channel > --update").
Which does no longer work if you have small modifications .. The alternative is setting up dstributed building so that your x64 machine can ask a i686 machine to do exactly those missing build jobs. There are some system options and can read more about it here: http://nixos.org/releases/nix/unstable/manual/#sec-distributed-builds I've been using the distirubted build setup for quite a while now.
