It had been a while since I'd last done an aarch64 build. I launched one
here and linking failed with relocation errors. I've pushed 4e5abf8
("chromium: Apply -g -> -g1 workaround for aarch64 as well"), which is
the same workaround I've been applying for other architectures, and
everything went fine.

Thanks for fixing the yasm bit.

As for musl: like I said in my original email and on GitHub, the musl
build is currently broken. Carrying tons of patches in the recipe is an
uphill battle, so unless someone takes the time to work with upstream I
don't think it makes much sense to try to keep the build working.
