I need to support 32GB of ram, the 32bit HV wont do this i guess. Can i run a 64bit HV with a 32bit Dom0 and a 32bit DomU?
Yes, Oracle VM does this. Your mileage will vary according to which version of Xen you are using.

Also, i tried building a 64bit HV on a 32bit dom0 but it failed, is it not possible to build a 64bit HV on a 32bit dom0?
In this particular case you're cross-compiling. Basically you want "gcc -m64 helloworld.c" to produce a 64-bit binary and once you've got that, the rest will be a breeze :-) You'll probably want a 64 bit machine to test that on though so you might as well do the build on that.
