I've built with Debian 32bit (not amd64 in a while) stable and testing
without issue with both PPC, PPC64, x86, x86_64, and with the raspberry pi
and beaglebone black for ARM.

As of late I've been using Arch i686 with both i686 and x86_64 kernels.

For debian I perform the following (if I recall correctly):

apt-get install texinfo gawk ncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev build-essential &&
dpkg-reconfigure dash (select no and use bash as default shell)

I can always test with an AMD64 release of debian, and I think Chris may
already do that, and some other testers.

Sincerely,

William Harrington
