The following CPU architectures are continually tested for mongo-c-driver:

Architecture

ARM / aarch64
Tested on macOS and Linux
Power8 (ppc64le)
Only tested on Linux
zSeries (s390x)

Other platforms and toolchains are not tested, but similar versions of the above platforms should work. If you encounter a platform or toolchain that you expect to work and find that it does not, please open an issue describing the problem, and/or open a GitHub Pull Request to fix it.

Simple pull requests to fix unsupported platforms are welcome, but will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The acceptance of a pull request to fix the libraries on an unsupported platform does not imply full support of that platform.
