Is it possible to build dracut for system/architecture which is 
different from the host on which dracut is run?

I have been looking through the various functions dracut provides 
(inst_binary in particular) and it seems that dracut picks-up 
dependencies/libraries/kernel modules and files on the host machine when 
building the initrd image, which to me indicates that the resulting 
initrd image is tied to the current kernel/architecture on which the 
host is run and cross-building won't be possible.
