32-bit 10.10 will also help, since most failed packages fail to build because of newer build tools (such as libtool), only a few are because of 64-bit.
Regarding libtool version, we want to use system libtool when it's not causing any problem. But If some packages must use a specific version, we would stage the specific version into $(HOST_STAGING_PREFIX) and use that specific version.
