It would if they want to build a basic operating system with the kernel
Linux(-libre) and if the programs they want to add can be built by
cross-compilation.

I think it could work for other architectures as well, as far as those
architectures are supported by GCC, binutils, glibc (glibc-ports) and
the kernel Linux(-libre).
They would have to adapt the documentation though: change the values of
$CROSS_TARGET, $MABI, $MARCH, ARCH=mips for Linux headers and Linux
and modify options like --enable-64-bit-bfd if this is not appropriate.

I have not tested those instructions for other architectures though.
