I was not aware of this optional 32 bit compatibility. That kinda

Yeah, especially since you had the misfortune of getting the one chip that is
sold that doesn't support it.
Actually, I'm already using qemu with cowbuilder (I mean, a lot) but my
biggest problem is not the slowness but the broken thread
implementation.
Yeah, that is a problem indeed. And one that will take a long time to fix,
because threading is already hard enough when you don't need to juggle hardware
architectures with different memory coherency models...
If you have any hint about online cheap arm server, let me know...
Does it have to be a server? The raspberry pi 3 has an ARMv8 chip with 32bit
compat mode. Granted, it's not the fastest, doesn't have that much RAM, and if
you boot it in 64bit mode some peripherals don't work yet, but for a pure
compile/build box...? Especially if you're kind of OK with the speed of qemu?

Could be an alternative indeed, but what about the speed compared to my
quad-core i5 with qemu ?
