Motivation for this change

AArch64 all the things :)

Things done

This was verified with cross-compilation and native build on AArch64. The cross-compiled result was verified to boot on hardware.

  • ☑️ Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • ☑️ NixOS
    • 🔲 macOS
    • 🔲 other Linux distributions
  • 🔲 Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • ☑️ Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • 🔲 Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • 🔲 Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • ☑️ Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • ☑️ Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

I'm not entirely confident on the patch for Make.conf, but it seemed the less convoluted way to make their build system use the right tools. Otherwise the makefile strongly assumes cross-compilation with the specified toolchain.

The actual prefix variable was already neutered via make flags, it could be kept or removed from the patch. It doesn't really matter.
