We do.

I think we can't.
If debugging a particular target needs a 64 bit type on the host, and
such a type isn't available, then there is just no way to do that
debugging. But, this situation is already accounted for, see
ALL_64_TARGET_OBS in gdb/Makefile.in.
I think this setup is increasingly rare, though.

I didn't really read the thread, but I would much prefer following the
existing approach over adding more BFD64 checks, if possible.
