 # once crosscompilation is done, use an actual aarch64 docker image (with a real aarch64 python) to run all the tests under an emulator
 # * mount the protobuf root as /work to be able to access the crosscompiled files
 # * intentionally use a different image than manylinux2014 so that we don't build and test on the same linux distribution
