Yes, there are perhaps everything besides x86/arm64
because we need uninative tarballs and for them we need host machines
with those architectures.
so essentially this restricts bootstrapping a new architecture for
build unless its in AB, it seems we
need to build uninative tarballs as first step.

tarball is not supported
