Arm support

[ryanstout]

Any idea what would be involved in getting this working with Arm? (We could compile everything directly on our arm board) Would be happy to put a little money towards getting this supported on Arm if that anyone is interested.

Thanks!

rubyc requires a compiler tool chain that can build ruby and its dependent libraries now listed here. The notable surprise may be that openssl seems to require perl. Maybe that's enough to get you started?

It's difficult to maintain instructions for cross-compilation (if you choose to go that way) as there aren't many free resources to make sure that the instructions continue to work over time.

Mruby would be more suited for ARM IMO. Not sure if ruby-packer can embed mruby though. Although mruby some similar methods for packaging stuff up that is worth a look.

Tested with arm64, bundled openssl version is too old but more recent versions seem to work (tested against @kke's fork which contains few other fixes).
