I suggest considering Debian Stable (stretch), which is using Perl 5.024, and possibly also Ubuntu 16.04 LTS which is on Perl 5.022. mherger wrote: > > BTW: where do you put the binary files so LMS does find it?

If you would be willing to consider a pull request, I am currently in the process of trying to make the existing build scripts run on aarch64, but with a "do no harm" philosophy to ensure all other platforms keep building as they do today. See for example: 'here' (https://github.com/crazzell/slimserver-vendor/commit/a381441dde084bdddce360a13e4040d7a156e64e). Notice the function refresh_config takes no action at unless the platform is Linux and the ARCH is aarch64. In that sense it is hopefully safe, but your review comments would be welcome. I am doing the same for the other buildme-linux scripts as well (work in progress).
