Been making some improvements to `git-annex export` over the past couple
days, but took time off this afternoon to set up a new phone, and try
[git-annex in termux](https://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/install_on_Android_in_Termux/)
on it. Luckily, I was able to reproduce the signal 11
on arm64 problem that several users have reported earlier, and also found a fix,
which is simply to build git-annex for arm64.
So I want to set up a [[todo/arm64_autobuilder]], and if someone has an
arm64 server that could host it, that would be great. Otherwise, I could
use Scaleway, but I'd rather avoid that ongoing expense.
Also fixed a recent reversion in the linux standalone
runshell that broke git-annex in termux, and probably on some other
systems.

Well, I see the signal 11 too, on my arm64 phone running LineageOS Android 8.1.
Some others had earlier reported it worked on arm64, but perhaps newer
versions of Android don't or whatever.
I made a test arm64 build, and it does work. Get it here:
<https://tmp.joeyh.name/git-annex-arm64-test-build/>
(I also had to run termux-fix-shebang as described above.)
I do not yet have an arm64 autobuilder running, todo for that is
[[todo/arm64_autobuilder]] -- if anyone has an arm64 machine that could run
the autobuilder, that would help!

Add an arm64 autobuilder (linux).
This is needed to run in termux on some android devices.
And of course there are arm64 servers, although the armel build probably
also works on them.
Status: Builds fine on arm64, but needs an autobuilder. Building under
emulation could be done, or a scaleway arm64 server, which would be a
$5/month expense. Or, perhaps someone has an arm64 that could host the
autobuilder? --[[Joey]]
