   Adding foundationdb as a dependency would have brought in AVX instruction requirements (or their emulation) for couchdb 4+ but that project was suspended. Spidermonkey is an example of an existing requirement and doesn't support every possible architecture, but does have support for s390. For example [riscv linux patches](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1318905#c40) would be needed for spidermonkey_78- and show references to s390 being present.
   
   Distribution/arch combinations with convenience packages are usually sourced from a pipeline that runs the test suite in jenkins so they have a higher level of support in that the results will be examined before approving a new release. For other combinations you would want to document progress/success in getting all the dependencies and running the full couchdb test suite for future problems to be identifiable as regressions.
