 I do not think there is a problem with cross building in chroot.
 allbsd.org is also generating i386 snapshots on an amd64 box in
 almost the same way as generate-release.sh, but the memstick images
 already generated were not broken as far as I can check.  Although I
 do not use generate-release.sh on it because I added another build
 world stage in chroot before cross compiling, the difference is
 small.

 What was exactly gone wrong in 32-bit binary on 64-bit kernel?
