Yep, it's the Ubuntu aarch64 build. I haven't the time yet to try other
builds as well. I just got the M1, but if I find some time I will also do
some tests with other distributions.

I have no clue if this was a typo or really the intention, only the IP can
tell.
My understanding was that the VMs are used for development. The compilation
could be performed cross platform, the only restriction would be you can't
test
it locally, but with IA64 this wasn't possible before.

Kind regards Thomas

Exactly right - I think I need to have access to a VM that's
binary-compatible
with production so that I can make sure it "really really works"
before
pushing stuff out.
