It's not that these architectures are not supported anymore. They're
just neither primary nor secondary but tertiary platforms instead. On
the release criteria page it says:
"There are no release criteria for tertiary platforms."
BTW, the list of supported architectures is not the "machine
constrants" page, but rather this one:
https://gcc.gnu.org/backends.html
