--- Comment #2 from Kevin <kr886q at att.com> ---
I started down this rabbit hole when trying to create a executable(written in
python) to run on a target device (aarch64) with uclibc (basic busybox). I was
able to virtualize the target arch with docker/buildx but could not find a
suitable image that had uclibc, gcc, python, and other needed things to cross
compile.

I then tried to use buildroot (running in ubuntu container) to create an image
and run in docker but ran into some trouble and decided to pivot. 

I discovered that the Rpi3 has the same chip (cortex A53) as my target device.
So I used buildroot to create an image and flash it to the Rpi3. Now I have the
correct toolchain and everything I need EXCEPT pyinstaller, to cross compile.

Due to certain restrictions I am unable to cross compile on the target device.

also this is my first experience going deeper into linux than just the basic
terminal commands, so my apologies.
