I would think the broken concrete would be easier than natural stone if only because it has at least one flat side. The following are pics of a wall I did last year by dry stacking native sandstone from the hill behind the house. I offset each layer towards the rear to strengthen the wall and help hold back the soil. I would just lay each layer and backfill with dirt then start the next layer. Time consuming (less than you think) and laborious but the results are great.
