Was there a effort to make it cross platform, or just the tech that looked 386 only at the time like a MMU becoming more widespread (I remember a fail0verflow talk on ps4 linux a while back where they mentioned a MMU and clock as requirements to port Linux to an architecture)?

MMU is less of a requirement these days, since the uclinux patches were upstreamed.

And it was ported to Alpha early on to be ported to a very 'not 386' style architecture. Before that it was very x86 specific.
