Let me see if I can clear up some common misconceptions ...

In my experience I can only speak for amd64/i386, but AFAIK yes.

Synth is written in Ada which IIUC limits it to amd64/i386.  I think
there was work to get Ada going under some arm variant but AFAIK it
was never completed.

Synth was never an option for mips/mips64/powerpc/powerpc64/sparc64.

I personally run it native on amd64/powerpc64/sparc64 and cross on
aarch64/armv6/armv7, on various combinations of 10, 11, and -CURRENT.
I've had it running, under load, on these buildenvs for several years,
both with and without ZFS.  It is my go-to system.

It is also used to build packages on the freebsd.org cluster, including
mips/mips64.
