Thank you for bringing this to my attention!  I've forwarded to
upstream a request for information about plans to support other archs
in the future.  Would you agree that because "builds unsupported
architectures fail almost immediately" it is best to only explicitly
disable architectures for which there is not planned future support?

Cheers,
Nicholas
