If you want to add a bit more to the mix you can add riscv64-linux and
powerpc-linux as build targets. I'm not sure if they'll pass the test
suite though, I don't think they technically have support in the base
linux-libre package since it expects a kernel config and they only
really have their own specialized kernels for now.
