There is probably more than one way, but assuming you have a 64-bit
processor (if not, why would you want to build packages for it?), the
easiest solution is to boot with a 64-bit kernel and set up an amd64
chroot for that task with "debootstrap --arch=amd64 --variant=buildd".
You can also set up pbuilder for amd64, look for the --debootstrapopts
option in the pbuilder manpage.
