Following the status of BonSlack, an (unofficial) porting of Slackware Linux to ARM, DEC Alpha, HPPA, LoongArch, MIPS, OpenRISC, PowerPC, RISC-V, S/390x, SH4, SPARC64 architectures.
The build system is the same of slackware64's one, plus (few) patches to allow compilation for architectures different than x86. Where needed, the build script was upgraded to allow the use of external variable LIBDIRSUFFIX to determine where to place libraries (lib or lib64).
The "hard" porting challenge was qtwebengine inside qt5, since it is based on Chromium and the latter has only official support for x86, arm, aarch64 and mipsel (Android architectures...). The porting to ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, mips, mips64el, riscv64, s390x, and sparc64 was based on PowerPC and BigEndian porting, plus some additional patches where needed.

| [4] | Glibc-2.33 (in -15.0) set abi default to gnuabi64 for mips64el, instead of 14.2's gnu abi. Rebuild from scratch required (binaries from 14.2 and -15.0 are not abi-compatible). |

| [10] | LIBDIR for alpha is "lib" despite it is a 64 bits architecture, because 32 bits implementation does not exists and gcc/glibc by default are simply using "lib". |
| [11] | BonSlack 14.99 is BonSlack 15.0 but with downgraded gcc (8.2.0) and glibc (2.28) to be compatible with existing older distribution, such Yocto for Toradex Colibri system-on-chip. |
