It is built using a 64-bit AMD (x86) machine. The actual Debian release is built using a Docker image of Ubuntu.

I used my RPi 3B+ as an alternative desktop for a while and actually tried to build NutStudio tools on it, but it did not work. There were two problems. Linking Clang took so much memory it could never complete and it did not help to add a swap partition on a USB disk, it was just swapping forever. Then GHC/Haskell has been a somewhat broken on AArch64 for a while.

I think there are progress being made on both aspects here. RPi can be had with more memory now and it seems that the GHC/Haskell developers regard AArch64 as important. I can also see some benefits of having it, as it is a quite capable little computer.

I would not hold my breath, but it is on my long term radar. So is a Windows version.
