Well, I'm not the OP, but after several aborted attempts at building GNUradio from source on the ODroid C2, I'd like to ask if there is an equivalent for ARMv8 to this, or, for that matter, where EPEL on Aarch64 stands. And I know this is an EPEL question, but, honestly, CentOS' usefulness is really tied to the availability of the third-party repos, and EPEL is the biggest.
We've been working with the Fedora folks to try to get an EPEL build for AArch64 for some time now. I believe it's still a few months out from being 'official', but we can see about doing an interim build for epel and producing a temporary epel build repo that can be transitioned to 'official'.
(GNUradio has some modules that require more than 2GB Virt to compile (verified with a CentOS 7 x86_64 machine with only 2GB of RAM that took 4 hours to build from source, and half of that time was spent thrashing on two files with a load average > 25), and the install I currently am working with is swapless, and the C2 only has 2GB of RAM; I'm looking at the feasibility/advisability of swap on microSD or eMMC. The build panics the kernel at the first of those files)
Our builders have 8-16GB of ram, so shouldn't be an issue. I know one 'mad scientist' type who used swap over iscsi for his initial arm build on the odroid-c1 a few months back.
