When adding a =E2=80=98supported-systems=E2=80=99 field, it=E2=80=99s best =
to add a comment
above stating what evidence we have that some systems are not supported
(in that case, that the top-level Makefile has a pre-defined list of
supported architectures.)

This helps others and your future self ;-) find out why this restriction
is there and whether it still applies.

Could you add such a comment?

TIA,
