So far there are just x86_64 builds available and we don't plan to work 
on other arches. If anyone wants to give it a try, I'd be very happy, 
but I must warn you that it will be a lot of work, since all the 
packages would have to be bootstrapped from scratch (it was not easy 
either for x86_64, but I expect it would be much more work for arm, 
since there are no arm packages available that could be used for 
bootstrapping; not speaking about some code compatibility issues that 
might be there).
