debos does not support ARM64 architecture

This is due to fakemachine not supporting ARM64.

Related to #363 .

My use case is that I am using debos to build an image for an embedded processor (arm64) on a host machine that is also arm64 (Linux within a M1 mac VM)

In my case, I am installing debos within debian--slightly different from the other issue.

If there could be a way to compile debos without fakemachine support, that would resolve my issue. Right now I can't compile it to even be able to use the --disable-fakemachine flag.

I would also like to install debos within debian. Also using a VM running on a Mac M1 machine. If I try to build debos in this environment I get action.go:60:51: undefined: fakemachine.Machine which I assume is due to fake machine not supporting ARM64.

Any suggestions to fix or workaround the problem?

fakemachine version 0.0.5 supports running on arm64 ;-) Can you give it a try by manually installing from source ?

How can I test it on an aarch64 system?

We need to build a docker image for aarch64, or you can build debos from source following the instructions in readme

Just FYI, we (Cherry Embedded Solutions) use debos running on arm64 for over a year now. It works fine with --disable-fakemachine and is much faster than emulating arm64 on amd64.
