Maybe a stray typo, e.g. ARCH=amd64 vs. ARCH=arm64 ? Only one-letter
difference and a slight position shift ... easy to think one thing and
type another!

At any rate, I can confirm that it now works again on a virtualized
arm64 system! I can probably test this when introducing a new series if
given a heads-up.

I haven't yet tested other physical systems, but glancing
over the diff looks promising...

Thanks for the fix!
