GitHub now offers free aarch64 runners:
https://github.blog/changelog/2025-01-16-linux-arm64-hosted-runners-now-available-for-free-in-public-repositories-public-preview/
Automatically select the default apk-tools-url and arch to match the CPU
architecture of the current runner. Run armv7 and armhf without QEMU on
aarch64 runners. For symmetry, allow emulating x86 and x86_64 on aarch64.
Document how to run aarch64 without emulation. Change existing aarch64
examples to ppc64le, to avoid encouraging emulation of aarch64.
Fixes jirutka#11.
The aarch64 runners are notably faster than the x86_64 ones.

In my tests, CPU emulation on the aarch64 runners is notably faster than on x86_64, so I've added a commit noting that in the README. |

Oh? 32-bit arm is native now? That's real nice. |
