I'll take your word for that, although I have no idea why assembling parts
into a whole would take any architecture dependent code. I make ISOs for
PPC & Mac using x86 tools (mkisofs), so clearly it's a limitation rather
than a requirement to build ISOs.
Building ISOs is the last step of a many step process. You have to
build content to go _on_ the ISOs. Setting up the boot images is arch
specific.
