I haven't tried bootstrapping, but LLVM builds, passes the check-all
tests and all the test-suite on the AArch64 back-end. I also haven't
tried on the new ARM64, yet.

Hardware is still precious, whomever has access to it can't spare it
for buildbots.

Also, I'd like to have check-all + bootstrap check-all + test-suite
before sanitizers. Not that they're more important, but they're the
requirements for releases, and I'd like to have an AArch64 binary on
3.5 release.
