The machine will be a clear boost to our +future arm64 (aarch64) and arm (32bit) support, via <a href="https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/#arm64-advanced">installation +stage builds</a> and <a href="https://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/arm64/binpackages/23.0/">binary +packages</a>, architecture testing of Gentoo packages, as well as our close work with upstream +projects such as GCC and glibc.
