With the [exciting work towards aarch64 macOS](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/pull/10348), are there any plans for an official `aarch64-linux` version of the compiler in the upcoming releases? I’ve been able to successfully bootstrap it via a cross-compile (using a similar approach to that PR), but would be excellent to have a centrally published source. Main motivation for this is that it opens a clean path to usage on environments such as AWS’s new(ish) [Graviton machines](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/graviton/). ---

… and maybe for android? ---

You want to track [Provide a Redhat / CentOS aarch64 build · Issue #9833 · crystal-lang/crystal · GitHub](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/9833) I guess. But the biggest blocker is probably [C ABI: accepting a struct in a callback works wrong (indirect vs byval) · Issue #9533 · crystal-lang/crystal · GitHub](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/9533), that is I can imagine it’ll resolve at least some of the less specific other open issues. ---

In case anyone else missed it, there’s now a link to an aarch64 package hosted by 84Codes on the install page (it’s at the bottom of the Community section): [Install - The Crystal Programming Language](https://crystal-lang.org/install/)
