Substitute availability should start to improve somewhat, as we've made some changes in the build farm that will avoid some "spurious" build failures with aarch64. In the long run, we are hoping to acquire more aarch64 hardware to match the growing demand. > I had no success with building a vm or disk image - a build would take hours > and then fail trying to assemble the boot subsystem, seemingly having > switched to x86 architecture.
