Use the Linaro ARM toolchain ?

I'm not sure what you mean by "no support for AArch64 in testing". The
testing infrastructure can test any arbitrary configuration, so there
is nothing like "support for architecture <foo> in testing". Perhaps
you are confused by BASIC_TOOLCHAIN_CONFIG being an ARM toolchain
configuration. But this BASIC_TOOLCHAIN_CONFIG is not mandatory, it is
just one toolchain configuration that you can use if your test doesn't
really care about the architecture/toolchain.

We have tests like support/testing/tests/fs/test_iso9660.py that don't
use BASIC_TOOLCHAIN_CONFIG.

I'm not sure what "artefacts" you are looking for here.

If you need an ARM or AArcH64 glibc toolchain, just use the Linaro
external toolchains I'd say.

Thanks!
