I have recently tried to bootstrap both ppc64el and riscv64, but it
failed in both cases. The support for those architectures is still
experimental, and obviously not yet ready for inclusion in Debian.

I did not try the other (non-release) archs.

There are indeed 3 methods: cross-compiling, bootstrapping with ecl, or
bootstrapping with clisp.

Ok, noted.
