In my opinion, it depends on how much memory you're going to give the
VM.  If you're going to give it more than 3-4GB, then I'd say take the
time to learn about cross-compiling.  If you're not, then go with a
32-bit VM.

(One reason to throw >4GB at a build environment is the opportunity to
build on tmpfs.)
