"That DSL allowed them to write "abstract" descriptions of specific software exploits, ala vs openssh vX.YpZ, then "render" (~~ compile) the exploit code automatically against any of their supported target architectures and/or OSes. (i.e. all of them.)"

Fair enough, but was one of those targets PPC ? MIPS ? Sparc ? Genuinely curious ...

Absolutely all of those three (and x86, obviously) were supported. I forget if ARM was supported back then, but I can't imagine that it isn't now.
