I opted to go for an approach that will allow anyone to compile for both architectures. To this end I used the aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc compilers that need to be installed to build for the other platforms. To ensure that we don't enter infinite loops I added a REALARCH variable that will make sure we don't build cross-cross-platform. The binaries were rebuilt using GLIBC 2.31. I have tested compiling, building, and running on both AARCH64 and X86_64 Linux systems as well as verifying there were no regressions in the OS X build/compiles.
