For now, SlackBuilds are only required to run on x86_64 or x86. But I
have asked the admins about it in the past and they responded that if
the maintainer tested the script on ARM (or s390), he/she can include
it in the script as one of the architectures.
And some people from SBo are buying SheevaPlugs, including me :)
