Whatever gave you the idea that arm (aarch64) software, any version,
compiled for arm would run on amd64 hardware? Different cpu's and
architectures at the machine code level and they don't speak a
compatible dialect of native language. Compilers are generally smart
emough to make the src code work on either platform, but the binaries
output will be incompatible. At best it will crash.
