I'm trying to build a static python binding for libtorrent for the RPi 4. I wrote a Dockerfile which works (although extremely slow) on the RPi 4. however, if I try to build the same Dockerfile on ubuntu with qemu-user-static or Windows 10 with Docker Desktop I get this error
Step 25/26 : RUN b2 -j1 libtorrent-link=static boost-link=static stage_module

this is the Dockerfile I'm using
