Hi Tony!

No, you have to look at the ports architectures [1]. On sh4, for
example, I get:

*** Host support ***
checking for strip... strip
checking C flags dependant on host system type... failed
configure: error: Unsupported CPU architecture "sh4"

make[1]: Leaving directory '/«PKGBUILDDIR»'
debian/rules:16: recipe for target 'build-arch' failed
make: *** [build-arch] Error 2

So it's definitely a matter of architectures being white-listed.

Please add support for hppa, m68k, ppc64 and sh4.

Thanks,
Adrian
