While I know that Mac people often report problems building lxml, I never have issues building lxml on Linux: the '--static-deps' option is a sufficient workaround for variants with too-old versions of libxml2 / libxslt.
I do not know what platform you are running but I have had my share of frustrations with lxml on Fedora and Ubuntu on x86_64.
I haven't had issues with lxml on 32- or 64-bit versions of either Fedora or Ubuntu any time within the last eighteen months or so.
