Does it support x64, x8664, arm64 and riscv? (sorry, just trolling - we don't know the quality of backend other than x8664 which is supposed to be able to build bootable linux.)

It's not hard to build a compiler just for a bootable linux.

I see no test criteria that actually runs that built linux through various test plans, so, yeah emitting enough asm just to boot is doable.
