I believe VSI has released the following.

Itanium:
* librdkafka 0.9-5 [C client]
* RabbitMQ C Client 2.6-0
* ActiveMQ 5.15.0A [I assume server + Java client]

Alpha:
* RabbitMQ C Client 2.6-0

 From old 2019 roadmap.

Client wise then there are lots of additional stuff available as
RabbitMQ and ActiveMQ both speak standard protocols: AMQP and STOMP.
