Hello there!

Ubuntu is currently disabling the build on s390x, and I've also seen that some other more obscure arches are not building in Debian.
Upstream clearly states in its README that big endian processors are currently not supported. [1]

Would you consider disabling the build on unsupported architectures, so that downstream distributions can avoid carrying a delta?

Thanks
Skia
