There was one case where we tried a full build on an ARM machine,
IIRC, it was one that had an Ubuntu installation.  There were no
problems with the build and everything went fine (but the full build
took a really long time to build -- several hours I think).  The only
problem in the tests were in passing some particular set of arguments
to a foreign function, something that looked like an alignment issue.
But the system as a whole should be usable.

If anything, you might have problems due to the OS that you're using,
unless it is some variant of a known OS.
