But it's probably possible to do with a few Raspberry Pi's or some sort of ARM-based blade server, as long as it has enough storage and RAM and ethernet, just like the other platforms.  Then install one of the more complete ARM distros like Debian or Arch that actually has a compiler, and icecream.  But it might still slow down the overall CI process unless there are enough of them to run in parallel.

Compiling on the target is very unusual, and slow. Crosscompiling +
running tests on qemu looks like a better option IMHO.
