It's a promising link.

As 'make PLATFORMS=linux-64 LILYPOND_BRANCH=master lilypond' stopped when 
trying to build netpbm you already successfully cross-built the linux-64 
installer. You should find lilypond-2.21.0-1.linux-64.sh in ./uploads.

I suspect that all but the windows and macos platforms will also succeed.

Although the host is a 64-bit system the darwin and mingw require the ability 
to execute 32bit code. If the procedures described in the link work, then the 
problem should be solved. Feel free to experiment ;-)

For Windows/macOS support you might directly test these three commands while 
experimenting:

bin/gub darwin-x86::odcctools
bin/gub darwin-ppc::odcctools
bin/gub tools::nsis

If these commands succeed after you followed the instructions in the link 
everything else should succeed too.
