cross-compile for ARM

[harp-intel]

Use the Go compiler's cross-compilation feature to build perfspect for aarch64.

Much more to-do, e.g., build binary resources for aarch64.

LGTM, this minimizes needing an ARM host for building

That's the idea. Was able to get Linux perf built (cross-compiled) but still considering options for the other tools, e.g., use QEMU or spin up an ARM VM on AWS or GCP.

I'm going through the other tools, might not be too bad... dmidecode was pretty simple to cross-compile, something like echiugoog@5414e3e

For aarch64, you can use aarch64-linux-gnu-strip

For tools, what do you think of this approach? https://github.com/echiugoog/PerfSpect/tree/tools-cross-compile-arm

I like it. Thanks. Just need to make sure the build container is configured with the required cross-compile packages.

I finished cross-compile work for aarch64 here: https://github.com/echiugoog/PerfSpect/tree/tools-cross-compile-arm

Hi @echiugoog. Thanks. I haven't been able to spend any time here for a while as other things took priority. I took a quick look at your branch. From what I can tell, it all looks reasonable. Please open a PR when you're ready.
