I guess Torque just inherits the build settings: it is not the only host tool. The other (and older) tool is mksnapshot, which needs to match the bit-ness of the target, i.e. you need a 32-bit mksnapshot when you're building for a 32-bit target. 32-bit-x86 host tools and 32-bit-arm target is fine (that's what V8's built-in simulator is for), but since mksnapshot creates a heap snapshot which is then used on the target, the pointers in that heap must have the correct size.
TL;DR: yes, you'll need multilib when cross-compiling for a 32-bit target on a 64-bit host, but that's not because of Torque.
