Wait a minute here.  Based on [1], x64_arm64 means you can use a x64
host and you'll be able to produce ARM64 builds, still these will not
be able to run on the host where they were built.  How much of the
patch posted upthread is required to produce such builds?  Basically 
everything from it, I guess, so as build dependencies can be
satisfied?
