Armish, socppc, and sparc are also on their death beds. I'm not divulging deep secrets here; you can just check the dates on ftp and see that no recent snapshots have been built.
I have two sparcstations and it is since 5.7 that building packages has been close to impossible. In the absence of packages, I tried to build them myself several times, but the kernel is quite unstable on certain CPU combinations, sadly, exactly those which I have. Only the sparcstation 5 seemed to work, but the machine is a tad slow and low on ram here.
I remember Miod was looking at it, but the past months I did not check lately if there has been progress, had been busy fixing GNUstep "upstream".
I want also to revive my hppa box, if we speak about strange architectures, but the HDDs for these old machines are scarce and problematic.
