It should work in principle. Just set "platform=linux" before calling
mtx-update.lua and disable '--make'. (You could in principle also call
rsync manually.) And then all you need to do is set the PATH to
binaries.

The problem is that unless something changed, mtxrun will most likely
be causing you some troubles and will insist in fetching x86_64 (I'm
not sure how to completely avoid that).
