Can a kernel rpm be built for i686 on x86_64?

Hi all,

Years ago, I successfully built an i686 kernel using a machine running the x86_64 distro. The kernel seemed to run fine. The only trouble I found was when I tried to build an external module, the build failed. It turned out that the kernel-devel package had a binary called genksyms. That was still being built as an elf64 binary. I can no longer find that binary, so I believe it's now OK to build all my packages for i686 and x86_64 at once on an x86_64 machine. Is this recommended? If not, why not?

          TIA.
