"probably"

The code is written to standard operating system APIs, and we are very
aggressive with our compiler warnings (which helps avoid
undefined/architecture-specific behavior). I would expect it to work, but
as always with C++ sometimes things get weird.

Depending on the architecture* we would probably accept pull requests to
fix any issues found by the community (assuming they're of good quality,
don't add too much complexity, etc - all the normal PR caveats)

* We wouldn't upstream support for the m68k, for example
