It fails to build from source on Debian hppa, however:

I'm currently working on a patch.

It also fails on ia64 at the moment:

I fixed the preprocessor conditional, but then I'm running into another
issue:
continuations.c: In function 'capture_auxiliary_stack':

Working on a patch here as well.

Ok. I assume that applies to alpha, hppa, m68k, powerpc*, riscv*, sparc* as well.
