When thinking about supporting a platform, it seems reasonable to consider other sources for pre-compiled binaries, e.g., conda and especially conda-forge. Conda-forge has

linux-ppc64le v1.7.0
linux-64 v1.7.0
linux-aarch64 v1.7.0
osx-arm64 v1.7.0
osx-64 v1.7.0
win-32 v1.2.1
win-64 v1.7.0

If this list included PyPy that it would be virtually complete.

Conda-forge supports PyPy, and the NumPy build seems to have a problem but that's being worked on at the moment: https://github.com/conda-forge/numpy-feedstock/pull/238

It seems reasonable to direct users to conda-forge if they are unable to build a package for a less common platform.

Building on conda-forge is often easier than building a wheel for PyPI due to the substantial infrastructure that the conda-forge team provides to automatically wire up CI for a lot of platforms.
