Support for ARM64

[drake7707]

I tested a building and running it on an ODROID N2, which is an ARM64 and it seems to work but I needed to do a few small changes, I had to disable modern_cpu manually because the current statement threw an 'Index out of range' and I had to change the unistd_64 import to unistd as it didn't exist.

Linux odroid 4.9.187-53 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 9 06:12:18 -03 2019 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I think these same changes are required for an 64-bit OS on a raspberry PI.

ah, this is great, thanks! I'll look at incorporating into the standard build system

Hi can you let me know how you can build it on linux with architecture arm by cross compile

Any plans to support this? I would love to use mesh on my Linux VM in my Apple Silicon macbook pro (and possibly on my graviton 2 aws vps too).
