do you mean the 'ubuntu' build infrastructure? if so, this might not be the
most appropriate place to ask ;-)

a quick answer is yes, it's possible to (re)build any ubuntu (or debian)
package. you need to build 'natively'. so you are building against your
'local' install of the distro, which means that you need to install the
distro version you need (generally, you would do that in a chroot). once
you have that running, any single package can be rebuild with
dpkg-buildpackage. You can't rebuild Ubuntu (or debian) all at once. You
only (re)build packages you care about. I suggest you get on ubuntu arm
 IRC or mailing lists for more details.

cheers
