Hanging or failing command `sam build --use-container` creating LambdaLayer when BuildArchitecture is amd64

Description:

Hanging or failing command sam build --use-container creating LambdaLayer when BuildArchitecture is amd64

Steps to reproduce:

I created a minimal repro (zipfile attached).

It fails for arm64. It works for x86_64. To repro simply unzip attached in an EC2 dev instance (eg it can be repro'ed on a new vanilla Cloud 9 - either AL2 or AL2023 - doesn't matter - both fail)

ARM64 In the sam-build-test directory, run

sam build --use-container --template-file template-arm64.yaml

the first time you run it, it might fail rather than hang:

$ sam build --use-container --template-file template-arm64.yaml

        SAM CLI now collects telemetry to better understand customer needs.

        You can OPT OUT and disable telemetry collection by setting the
        environment variable SAM_CLI_TELEMETRY=0 in your shell.

Unfortunately this error reveals no clues to me.. When I repeat the same command again, it hangs - forever:

Mounting /home/ec2-user/environment/sam-build-test/src as /tmp/samcli/source:ro,delegated, inside runtime container

X86_64 In the sam-build-test directory, run

sam build --use-container --template-file template-x86_64.yaml

Works fine.. The only difference in the two templates is the Architecture

$ diff template-x86_64.yaml template-arm64.yaml 
9c9
<       BuildArchitecture: x86_64
---
>       BuildArchitecture: arm64
14c14
<         - x86_64
---
>         - arm64

So we could probably get past this quickly by changing the Architecture from arm64 to x86_64, but x86_64 has higher runtime cost, and I'd rather get to the root cause for why it's not working now on arm64.

Observed result:

Hangs forever after Mounting command:
