I have mixed feelings about this. I am worried by the fact that those
architectures are not really supported upstream. Hence, if by chance we
manage to compile SBCL on one of those mostly-unsupported archs, I
don’t know how we would be able to deal with regressions that could
appear in the future, and that would block testing migration for
supported archs.

What’s your view on this?

Best,
