I'm tempted to say it's not.

From experience compiling C++ a build can easily take 10 times longer depending on the optimizations flags that are enabled. The bulk of the time is spent in deep optimizations that may be architecture and CPU specific.

Wouldn't be surprised if compiling on a different architecture is multiple times faster because the compiler is not as optimized or doesn't have the same default flags.
