+1.

I have a "test script from hell" as I call it. It takes about 4 hours
to run on a modern PC, and it builds the libraries and runs the self
tests under various configurations. Using QEMU, it would take 3 to
5days to run. Under a Hikey (ARM64) or Cubie Truck Plus (ARM32), it
takes about 12 hours to run.
