cross builds broken from i386?

Make universe seems to work from an amd64 but fails from i386 as follows:

any ideas?

building shared library libc.so.7
/usr/obj/amd64/big/svn/FreeBSD/head/tmp/usr/lib/libgcc.a: could not read
symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
*** Error code 1

Stop in /big/svn/FreeBSD/head/lib/libc.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /big/svn/FreeBSD/head.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /big/svn/FreeBSD/head.

other builds also fail in the same way..
who would be someone who knows about this sort of thing.
