It is yet to be seen if it will be successful, and using the x86_64
kernel on i586 installs hinges upon this functionality so I recall.

AFAIK, Debian has been shipping i386 GCC with -m64 support for ages.  The
drawback is that it's slower even when not using -m64 because some internal
types (HOST_WIDE_INT and related stuff) are larger.

Not true. -m64/-32 cause gcc to switch between multilibs, when using a multilibbed setup. Unless something is broken somewhere, the internal types, library search paths etc. will be set up correctly.
