+mlkem-native is highly portable C90 code that is continuously tested across various 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit
+C-compilers (including gcc, clang, mingw, msvc, zig, gcc-avr) and target architectures (including x86_64, AArch64,
+RISC-V32, RISC-V64, PPC64LE, AVR). It has minimal dependencies on the standard library, all of which can be customized
+(see [STDLIB.md](STDLIB.md)). If mlkem-native does not work out of the box for you, please file an issue!
