The easiest thing is probably to build on x86 and copy it over.
Normally (not since a lot of time) I can easily do: make ARCH=um SUBARCH=i386 and it works (given 32-bit libraries and whatever installed). Actually I almost only compile UML this way (I rarely compile or test 64bit umls). Your mileage may vary however depending on the host distro (I've tested Gentoo and Debian, I don't remember SuSE) and some users have many problems - if it does not work and the distribution has the needed support (for instance /usr/include/asm needs to be in two versions) report it to us and we'll fix it. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
