It's a compiler. It takes input and produces output. There shouldn't be much in there that has any platform dependency.

For any compiler, platform-dependence of the compiler itself is strictly tied to platform-dependence of outputs.
Edit: I confused roslyn with the recently announced AOT compiler.
What do you mean the output produced isn't platform-independent? This C# compiler produces assemblies that can be run on e.g. Mono runtime on Linux or on the .NET CLR runtime in Windows.
