It's a mostly shell script but it does have a few small bits of C-code.
As far as I know, it works pretty much on all known architectures where
there's a toolchain that can compile code.

The cross compiling thing -- which requires running the emulated CPU
under qemu on an amd64 host -- should work fine.  It was for a time (and
may still be) the way official package builds were being done for
architectures where hardware of a scale suitable for building 25,000 odd
packages wasn't readily available.
