[BUG] Issues on arm64

[flanter21]

Describe the bug

I've been trying for months now to try to get Waydroid to run in a linux virtual machine on my arm64 mac. I've tried ubuntu 23.10 and 24.04 and fedora 39 and fedora 40, but none of them would run always leaving some variation of an ominous

[gbinder] Service manager /dev/binder has appeared
[gbinder] WARNING: Service manager /dev/binder has died

I even tried running them in both vmware and utm and tweaking VM settings to no avail.

I tried previous solutions that had been found like installing python3-gbinder (from the waydroid sid repo) or anbox-modules. Eventually I gave up thinking it might be fixed in the next version, even if it didn't at the time work in either fedora or ubuntu. I realised eventually that the stock kernel on ubuntu doesn't have binder support so I compiled a new kernel with it, however, the same issue still occurred, though much less frequently, mostly replaced by WayDroid container is not listening. Note fedora does come with binder on arm64.

While I would get resource busy when installing anbox-binder on fedora, on ubuntu I would get a compile issue. I've attached it as make.log. It's weird because there were no errors during compilation but no binary was produced.

I'm really not sure where to go from here. Any ideas would be welcome.

Did you edit the config file for Waydroid to use arm64 instead of x86_64?

No but I believe it was already downloading the arm64 image anyways.
