Oh, and added to this, v2.4 will probably support at least these (unless someone reverses the patches) in addition:
- PowerPC (64 bits) - MIPS (64 bits) - SuperH (32 bits)
Right now, the S390 port is v2.2 only; I hope it'll be forward-ported into the v2.3 tree as soon as v2.3 stabilizes a little.
Now what I see is missing would be:
- Whatever processor VAX:en use - 88k - Crays (the non-vector models; I suspect that Linux doesn't would be very suitable on a vector-machine. But I could be wrong) - AS/400 (something akin to the S/390 port; a virtual machine is needed because of the lack of memory protection in hardware)
Have I missed something out?!
