Not sure from which angle to look at ^this question, so I just add a NB and if I missed the point just ignore it - we currently don't support Arch as a target in lcitool, but if this is kind of a dealbreaker for cross-arch QEMU CI,I don't see a reason why we shouldn't add it. There'd be quite a few steps involved to introduce it properly, especially wrt/ VM installation, hence we'd need an issue to track all subgoals, but FWIW it's not needed to address all of the problems at once if all that is sufficient for you is a working Dockerfile.
