I assume you are referring to the "SW64" Architecture? (as described here: rizinorg/ideas#57)
You would need to port RocksDB to that architecture. I don't see SW64 supported in Emulation by Qemu (https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/about/emulation.html), so you would likely need access to SW64 architecture hardware for testing.

If I want to add an architecture to RocksDB, how should I proceed?

@jack6266 I would start by getting the hardware, getting linux installed, getting a suitable version of GCC or Clang installed that supports SW64, and then trying to build RocksDB, and then make sure the full test suite runs and passes. Along the way you may find issues you need to fix in Makefile or the code base - you can send PRs for those.
