Let me see if I can clear up some common misconceptions ...

Synth is written in Ada which IIUC limits it to amd64/i386. I think there was work to get Ada going under some arm variant but AFAIK it was never completed. Synth was never an option for mips/mips64/powerpc/powerpc64/sparc64. > Does poudriere work on all supported versions and architectures of > FreeBSD? I personally run it native on amd64/powerpc64/sparc64 and cross on aarch64/armv6/armv7, on various combinations of 10, 11, and -CURRENT. I've had it running, under load, on these buildenvs for several years, both with and without ZFS. It is my go-to system. It is also used to build packages on the freebsd.org cluster, including mips/mips64. mcl
