    Technically yes, but all the common ones are covered. I don’t think any mainstream distros support anything so exotic that Rust doesn’t compile for it. Gentoo supports Alpha and HPPA which haven’t been around since the 90s, those are the only architectures that Gentoo has sudo packages for, that Rust doesn’t support. Your run of the mill distros don’t support anything this exotic. Common everyday architectures we see all the time in our daily lives like SPARC, PowerPC or RISC-V are supported.
