Carefully But Purposefully Oxidising Ubuntu

How does this work on non-x86/non-Arm versions of Ubuntu?

AIUI the LLVM Rust toolchain is still a little immature and code generation for other architectures is lacking. Ubuntu also supports ppc64le and s390 architectures:

Are you able to built binaries from Rust on them? I am not sure if interim releases are built for these other CPU architectures, but if so, are you simply hoping that Rust’s LLVM toolchain works well for those targets by 2026?
