Description
# Description
When creating a simple Dockerfile that installs crun, setting the platform to `linux/amd64`, and then starting that container on an Apple Silicon (M2) laptop, crun immediately exits printing `Failed to re-execute libcrun via memory file descriptor`, likely coming from [here](https://github.com/containers/crun/blob/64ee22ce09e2879eaf346fd3bd03806a64b4acd6/src/crun.c#L382).
When removing the `--platform=linux/amd64`, starting `crun` works as expected.
# Steps to reproduce
Make sure you have an Apple Silicon device with docker and rosetta installed.
I could not reproduce this on amd64.
Here is the Dockerfile:
```
FROM --platform=linux/amd64 ubuntu:20.04
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -yqq crun
```
Build the docker image with `docker build . -t test`
Run it with `docker run -it test`, and when the shell opens, type `crun` and hit enter.
