I think this will only be debian, and gentoo - both distributions support hppa.

Btw, I did noticed that the hppa build on debian failed, but was too busy
with other things to look into it. And, I was hoping someone would fix it
as it seemed trivial.
Beside the CI, we have two debian porterboxes for hppa, so testing is possible.
