It depends on what level of emulation you mean. Are you meaning
"is it
an x86_64 acting like a aarch64?" then the answer is no.
Yes, that's what I meant, thanks.
If you are
meaning "is it an aarch64 guest system on an aarch64" then probably
yes... we don't have enough hardware to not use virtualization which
does have some emulation at some level.
Sure, they're documented as VMs (and virt-what shows so). I may
misunderstand the virtualization, but I thought that a straight KVM VM
runs the instructions directly on the ThunderX hardware it advertises,
which would pin the failure either on target specifics in the library or
gcc. I'm not sure I have the enthusiasm to debug it anyway...
