The x86 arch is used because this system iteration derives from the first one, which relies on BIOS interrupts and inline assembly in Turbo C. I am not trying to mimic (MS-)DOS exclusively, but both systems are highly inspired by it.

IMO multiple archs could be supported as Rust compiler allows the target arch specification, so one would build a specific target before the build itself.
