we have no reason to believe ast would have trouble building and running on
arm64
a while back we built on arm32, directly and cross-compiled, with no problems
anyone with access to arm64 hw or an emulator can try to build ast-open and
report what happens
if space is an issue try building with
export PACKAGE_OPTIONS=optimize-space
this will link ksh with ast .so's instead of .a's
and also hard link all libcmd commands to one a.out
