+Inline assembly (`asm!`) is not supported on this target.
+
+Example of erroneous code:
+
+```ignore (cannot-change-target)
+// compile-flags: --target sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu
+#![no_std]
+
+use core::arch::asm;
+
+fn main() {
+    unsafe {
+        asm!(""); // error: inline assembly is not supported on this target
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The Rust compiler does not support inline assembly, with the `asm!` macro
+(previously `llvm_asm!`), for all targets. All Tier 1 targets do support this
+macro but support among Tier 2 and 3 targets is not guaranteed (even when they
+have `std` support). Note that this error is related to
+`error[E0658]: inline assembly is not stable yet on this architecture`, but
+distinct in that with `E0472` support is not planned or in progress.
+
+There is no way to easily fix this issue, however:
+ * Consider if you really need inline assembly, is there some other way to
+   achieve your goal (intrinsics, etc)?
+ * Consider writing your assembly externally, linking with it and calling it
+   from Rust.
+ * Consider contributing to <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust> and help
+   integrate support for your target!
