The bdist job built every Linux arch serially in one runner, with aarch64 compiled *and* fully tested under QEMU -- the slowest part. Split one-arch-per-job: x86_64+i686 native, aarch64 native on ubuntu-24.04-arm (no QEMU), riscv64 and armv7l each in their own QEMU job. Wall-clock is now the slowest single arch, not the sum.
