Ah, I should have kept the architecture out of that addition. Especially as we know Buildbox runs even on s390x architectures. I'll remove the Buildbox mention, and the arm64/x86_64 mention for Buildstream; although I think we should minimise any further depth of explanations about RECC and target architectures. Perhaps it might be worth linking to a page in the docs?

I know for a fact that it is being used on PowerPC and RISC V architectures just fine. There is a limitation in what target architectures it can build for, but this is more due to the fact it uses the bazel remote APIs [platform lexicon](https://github.com/bazelbuild/remote-apis/blob/main/build/bazel/remote/execution/v2/platform.md) rather than something in buildstream itself. > >As for the limitations of buildbox, I don't think this is the right place to document them.
