621Testing foreign architectures with dynamically linked glibc is one step trickier.
622This requires enabling `--glibc-runtimes /path/to/glibc/multi/install/glibcs`.
623This path is obtained by building glibc for multiple architectures. This
624process for me took an entire day to complete and takes up 65 GiB on my hard
625drive. The CI server does not provide this test coverage.
