Hi

For many years I've been using pkgsrc/sysutils/sysbuild to 
generate kernels, sets, release img and iso. It downloads source
and builds chroot so your host system configuration doesn't cause
complications. You can cross build or build both i386 and amd64
from same conf file which has separate sections for each arch.

Slight disadvantage might be disk space usage.
$ sudo du -sm /home/sysbuild/
16569  /home/sysbuild/
