Well, that's because (a) someone provided the initial port, and (b)
someone (else?) provided ongoing buildfarm support to see that it

If the OP wants to do that work, fine, but don't expect that a complaint
on pgsql-bugs will motivate people who don't have access to the compiler
in question to do anything about it.
