This tool has really cool potential!

Just one problem I noticed imminently that prevents me from using this, the docker agent container[1] isn't multi-architecture, this will be an issue on Apple Silicon devices. This is something I have some experience setting up if you are looking for help, though will take some research to figure out how to get going in github actions etc.

EDIT: quick search found this post, tested on a side project repo it works great: https://depot.dev/blog/multi-platform-docker-images-in-githu...

Good point, thanks. Its only ever been tested on a Mac with an Intel chip. I will try and sort this out ASAP!

I did submit a PR with a partial implementation, well the Docker and Github side. I am useless at the C and low level code.

Who has CI build runners for the given architectures?

It looks[1] like github actions only run on amd64 hosts, so if you use a platform matrix like in this example[2] I am fairly certain it is running under qemu just based on the fact that is takes roughly 10 times longer to run. I am aware of Blaze[3] has arm64 runners.

If you are willing to pay for it, you can also setup a runner that uses AWS Graviton EC2 instances[4], we do that at my workplace for our multi architecture builds.
