 Replying to [comment:9 tpearson-raptor]:

 constant time multiplication listed!

 Thanks, I have updated Tor's supported platforms document:
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/SupportedPlatforms?action=diff&version=18

 Note: this is the support document for Tor (the network daemon), not Tor
 Browser (the app).

 ppc64le, plus ppc64le is a Debian supported architecture.  Can we get Tor
 for ppc64le even if old 32-bit ppc is not supported?

 I think you might be asking about Tor Browser (the application).

 Tor Browser depends on both tor (the network daemon) and firefox:

 Debian already has Tor for ppc64el in stable:
 https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=tor&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all&section=all

 But firefox is only in unstable:
 https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=firefox&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all&section=all

 I'll leave it to gk to answer for Tor Browser.
