"Officially" (meaning what I'll try and debug) only i386 and x86_64
are supported.  Other people have fixed up the ppc and ppc64 ports,
but everything else is in the "waiting until someone cares enough to
test it and fix what breaks".

Depending on how much effort you want to put in, and given there are
probably only a handful of people on those alternative arches, it
might be best to just disable builds on them.  If someone complains
enough about it not being there, let them fix it.

The kfreebsd arches could conceivably be supported - FreeBSD should
be, but that weird freebsd-kernel-with-gnu-libc setup might require an
ifdef tweak.
