For cross-compiling, try the dpkg-cross package.

For optimized compiling, try the pentium-builder package (the name
notwithstanding, I don't think it's just for the i386 architecture).

'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot' is good, if you install the fakeroot
package, since then you don't need to be root to build packages.
