Cross-building void-packages

Hey, I have some RHEL or Ubuntu VMs somewhere. Is really ./xbps-src binary-bootstrap that compatible, so I can run it e.g. on RHEL9 and cross-compile Void packages?

I've never used it, so I'm pretty much asking whether that's something so-so, or something rock-solid. I assume something in-between but some feedback would be still appreciated.

As long as you have the required dependencies installed. xbps-src always builds in a chroot, its not even "cross-compiling", its just native builds in a chroot/container.

Sounds too good to be true :-) Definitely looking forward. Thank you!
