Should it include the lima wrapper as well ?

No, it should be just minimal

[afbjorklund]

I consider it to be (minimal), but I don't know what this will be used for

For local testing I don't want to compile guestagents for non-native archs

[afbjorklund]

I found doing something similar for qemu to be useful (for a new project).

i.e. building a custom qemu, with only the targets that are used by lima

Do you have that code in a repo somewhere? It might be useful for the lima-and-qemu repo used by Rancher Desktop (and possibly by finch; they do run a fork of it).

Bonus question, since this just came up on lima-and-qemu: is it possible to cross-compile qemu for aarch64 on amd64 (for Linux)? (because Github still don't have aarch64 runners).

It was more of a configure line for the qemu build, and I didn't do any work of packaging the result up either...

Just thinking it could be alternative to the default build in for instance brew, which weighs in at a gigabyte or so

But yeah, adding a "qemu-lima" repo could be done

I think it should be enough to set the compilers, i.e. CC and CXX, with the arch

aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc

aarch64-linux-gnu-g++

Can't see any special other mentions on : https://cblfs.clfs.org/index.php/QEMU
