Looking at the existing tests, I thought it was a requirement to use
toolchains hosted at http://autobuild.buildroot.org/.

I was referring to ARTIFACTS_URL, where ARM versatile/vexpress
kernels are available. As I thought I should have used
br-aarch64-glibc-2017.05-1078-g95b1dae.tar.bz2 to get a glibc-based
toolchain, adding Aarch64 support to the emulator seemed necessary.

I'll go with the Linaro toolchain, using ARM vexpress as target.

Thanks for the clarification.
