Gotta love how Gentoo maintains a list of packages that depends on Rust in a profile called `wd40` 
From https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/profiles/features/wd40/README
> This is a common profile for architectures and subarchitectures that do not support Rust (do not have a working virtual/rust). It serves as a common place to mask the packages requiring Rust and the USE flags pulling them.

Do they exist? Has to be something really marginal — Go is really bad at it, but Rust — I have an impression that you can build it for nearly anything 😄
@a1ba I think it can use MSVC toolchain on Windows and likewise can probably use compilers on other platforms native to them, I doubt support for e.g. AXP ever existed in LLVM.
A lot of these arches are indeed marginal, TBH I'm suprised some of them are still in the kernel, even 32-bit ARM and x86 do not receive proper testing in a lot of software, it's mostly about AArch64 and x86-64 these days, probably experimental RISC-V, IBM might maintain some POWER support.

@a1ba Machines IBM puts effort into are still very different from PowerPC ones I have to it doesn't help much. Rust works and there is an old version of Node.js so I can even build Firefox😁
Getting newer Node to build would require a lot of effort, and despite the fact that Rust works, a lot of popular crates don't like ring — popular cryptography module,I intended to port it to get libreddit running, but problem kinda resolved itself — no one needs Reddit anymore🤣
