+Other host architectures are not supported. It is possible to build QEMU system
+emulation on an unsupported host architecture using the configure
+``--enable-tcg-interpreter`` option to enable the TCI support, but note that
+this is very slow and is not recommended for normal use. QEMU user emulation
+requires host-specific support for signal handling, therefore TCI won't help
+on unsupported host architectures.
Non-supported architectures may be removed in the future following the
:ref:`deprecation process<Deprecated features>`.
