Did you try manually running the integration tests on a Linux/ARM64 machine? Just so that we have an idea if it works ok in most cases, or if it's just broken there?

I used generated launcher and run some tests such as(RunTestsDefault, BspTestsDefault, CompileTestsDefault) in Ubuntu with arm64 architecture and it works.

Doesn't work for me, please see #1714

This binary does not work for all aarch64 kernels out there. Most of the aarch64 Linux kernel will have a page size of 4k, which this binary is compatible with, but if a kernel runs another page size like 64k or, like in my case, 16k, this binary will not work.

So this QEMU thing is quite slow, seems like James Ward came up with a faster approach: https://twitter.com/_JamesWard/status/1613201502469750785 (I didn't read it, just posting so you are aware and might like it)

Thanks for the suggestions. I did a slightly different approach, used an actual runner that scala-cli builds macos-m1 launchers and there I run build the aarch64 linux launcher using docker. I reduced the build time to 20 minutes.
