Description
Hi there!
Using the Fedora Dockerfiles to build on aarch64/arm64 targets doesn't work, because they always want to install cross-compilation toolchains.
However, those require the container to run on an x86_64 machine, making it impossible to even install them on aarch64/arm64 targets.
All the best,
Alex

Locate the Fedora Dockerfiles and inspect how cross-compilation toolchains are installed. Build them directly on an aarch64/arm64 target and verify that the build no longer requires x86_64-only toolchains.
