I am curious -- I asked on Discourse as well... How this will work on CPU architectures other than x86 and Arm? Ubuntu also supports ppc64le and IBM s390. Is LLVM usefully able to built binaries from Rust code for those architectures now?

Well the oxidizr tool discussed in the article is for making the choice of the rust tools or the classic C ones simple. Presumably for architectures not supported by rust you'd do something like "oxidizr use gnu-tools".

powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu is supported, s390x-unknown-linux-gnu isn't s390 but I think Ubuntu supports s390x, so I believe that is the case as well.

Alpine supports x86, x86_64, armhf, armv7, aarch64, ppc64le, s390x, riscv64 and loongarch64. Rust and a great deal of Rust-based packages build for all these architectures. I'm sure there are a few more supported architectures.
