There is no secret sauce to the buildsystem. It's not like we're converting TRS-80 Model II TRSDOS files to LS-DOS or anything here, where things aren't well-documented or completely undocumented.
Hey, I could have done that with my eyes closed and in z80 code. But those were simpler times.
[TRS-80 in-joke and pointer to OS source code with Les's name in the comments taken off-list...... suffice to say that Les actually has done (or worked on the code, at least for) my referenced conversion in Z80 assembler for one of the TRS-80 operating systems]
I hope someone manages an ARM build eventually. It would be fun to play with cheap hardware and reliable code.
Is the F19 ARM build workable? (I know there are graphics module issues). I might have to try that myself on my GuruPlug or one of our Pi's. If F19 on ARM is stable enough, once the build chain is proven for x86_64 it shouldn't be too difficult for you or someone else to build from the source, taking F19 as the base for the buildsystem and initial buildroots. I would expect the build would take a long time, though.
