Add binary release for Linux on Apple Silicon M1

[talg]

I think an increasing number of us are running on Linux on Apple Silicon with Parallels in a VM, and support would be great. I can always build from source, but I would guess there will be plenty of others who will run into this.

There is already an issue for this on MacOS #221.

Instructions for building from source are in the README: https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk

I don't know of anyone working on a linux arm64 build. We build our images using github CI I guess it depends on when we can actions runing on arm64 linux.. or somebody could figure out to do a cross-compile on x86?

In my case, I'm running a container on top of an Apple M1, so I'm missing the -linux-arm64 flavor.

More info:
Building from sources from a linux-arm64 container (tried with ubuntu:22.04 and bitnami/minideb) fails.

In both containers, the error message is:

/usr/bin/cc -DGTEST_HAS_RTTI=0 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS -I/home/ubuntu/Home/Workspace/VMware/wasi-sdk/build/llvm/lib/Support/BLAKE3 -I/home/ubuntu/Home/Workspace/VMware/wasi-sdk/src/llvm-project/llvm/lib/Support/BLAKE3 -I/home/ubuntu/Home/Workspace/VMware/wasi-sdk/build/llvm/include -I/home/ubuntu/Home/Workspace/VMware/wasi-sdk/src/llvm-project/llvm/include -fPIC -Os -DNDEBUG -mavx512vl -MD -MT lib/Support/BLAKE3/CMakeFiles/LLVMSupportBlake3.dir/blake3_avx512_x86-64_unix.S.o -MF lib/Support/BLAKE3/CMakeFiles/LLVMSupportBlake3.dir/blake3_avx512_x86-64_unix.S.o.d -o lib/Support/BLAKE3/CMakeFiles/LLVMSupportBlake3.dir/blake3_avx512_x86-64_unix.S.o -c /home/ubuntu/Home/Workspace/VMware/wasi-sdk/src/llvm-project/llvm/lib/Support/BLAKE3/blake3_avx512_x86-64_unix.S

Any insight about how to workaround this?
Thanks!

UPDATE: Issue described in #294

[abrown]

This issue is open for anyone to work on: from what I can tell, it would involve modifying the CI workflow, the CI scripts, and (perhaps) the Makefile.

[jasonwashburn]

I started looking into this, locally the build went fine, and editing the ci workflows/scripts is straight forward. I think the bigger potential hold back here is where it would run. From what I can tell, Github currently only provides m1 runners in their "larger" runners offerings, which can get pricey. Other option could be self-hosted runners. Thoughts?

[dicej]

Per my comment in #347, I'm planning to work on this soonish. If we can't use a native runner for whatever reason, we can cross-compile, potentially. I'll look into it.

[aykevl]

According to GitHub docs, it appears that ARM based runners are only available for paying customers.

Looking forward to having wasi-sdk on linux/arm64 though!

[jasonwashburn]

Yeah, I noticed the documentation doesn't seem really clear on that...but I remember seeing the news article come out a while back about them releasing m1 runners free for open source projects...and this seems to indicate the same as well actions/runner-images#9254
