glibc and LinuxThreads support will probably be the biggest problem. If
they don't work as they do under x86 Linux you may run into some
problems.

It should work ok -- Obs does not really do any think architecture
specific. Maybe some of the include file paths will need to get tweaked.
Please try it and let me know -- if you need to make any code changes I
would like to get some patches from you so I can include them in the
next distribution.
