We once had it buildable for a 16bit CPU (calmrisc for one of the older Archos gmini models), but that particular port was abandoned and most of the long/int cleanups of those days are likely gone by now.
The data sheet says 8bit! There is a DSP that does the MP3 decoding and a DMA controller, so most likely the z80 does little besides reading the FAT filesystem and setting up the DMA to pipe data from Flash to the DSP.
