Thanks for the suggestion! Since mlucas has just released a new version
(17.0)[0], I think I will first upgrade the debian package and then port
it to arm64.

Regarding the "unknown" target in 'platform.h', although is designed to
work for an unknown system. In practice, using the "unknown" target
often causes compilation to fail.
