Description Marcus Hoffmann 2023-10-25 20:38:54 UTC 
I'm building the the raspberrypi4_64_defconfig with the following changes/additions:

```
BR2_CCACHE=y
BR2_PACKAGE_NODEJS=y
BR2_PACKAGE_NODEJS_MODULES_ADDITIONAL="serialport"
BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2_SIZE="300M"
```


This fails during the first run with the following errors:
```
ERROR: architecture for "/usr/lib/node_modules/node-red-node-serialport/node_modules/@serialport/bindings-cpp/prebuilds/linux-arm/node.napi.armv6.node" is "ARM", should be "AArch64"

make[1]: *** [package/pkg-generic.mk:406: /home/marcus/repos/buildroot-upstream/output/build/nodejs-16.20.0/.stamp_installed] Error 1
```

On a second invocation of make, it then succeeds to build. I have not yet runtime testing if the serialport library actually works.

As discussed on IRC just now, there was a discussion about this issue on this patch already:

To clarify: this is happening on the 2023.08.2 release tag, i.e. fe50c054bce7fb9b2e073b9c1bc78dd8a187289a.
