> it's a lot faster compiling Arm software native on a monster Arm CPU than even the fastest AMD or Intel CPU with emulation.

Running, sure, but compilation speed should be the same, assuming you're using a cross-compiler, which of course you would be. No emulation involved.



Edited the OP to clarify that it's compiling + running test suites, which I believe was the main motivation for this machine's existence (an automotive developer was frustrated with the speed running hundreds of arm64 ECU VMs.


Cross-compiling software which relies on a big bunch of runtime libraries is a major pain in a big project. Have you ever had success with it?
