[aarch64] building cross toolchain

[aarch64] building cross toolchain

[czar x]

Hi,

  I am trying to build the musl for aarch64.

I had cloned this repo
https://bitbucket.org/GregorR/musl-cross

tried executing ./build.sh but this fails

+ [  ]
+ ./configure --prefix=/opt/cross/aarch64-linux-musl/aarch64-linux-musl
--enable-debug CC=aarch64-linux-musl-gcc
checking for C compiler... aarch64-linux-musl-gcc
checking whether compiler is gcc... no
checking target system type... unknown
./configure: unable to detect target arch; try ./configure --target=...
+ die Failed to build musl-0.9.14
+ echo Failed to build musl-0.9.14
Failed to build musl-0.9.14
+ exit 1

aarch64 is not in the list of archs supported by musl at this time.
There's an in-progress port linked from the wiki but it is not
operational yet (and might not even compile). aarch64 will probably be
the next port we aim to finish/merge after 1.0 is released. In the
mean time you can use plain arm on 64-bit arm hardware.
