armhf support?

[thom-nic]

I'm running a nodejs app on an embedded device (think beaglebone black or raspberry pi). For non-trivial projects, npm install takes a significant amount of time on a live device. Instead I typically do the install from an x86 host using chroot and qemu-user-static. It seems like this would be great for simplifying app distribution for embedded targets.

I also use gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf to cross-compile the kernel from x86 host, if it's more manageable to specify a cross-toolchain and stay within the x86 host env instead of a chroot.

FWIW I also use several native modules (serialport, bcrpypt and node-sqlite) so would possibly be impacted by #25

I have not tested it on ARM yet because of lack of devices. It should work as long as libsquash compiles on ARM since I remember that Node.js already works on ARM.

Sorry for the delay. I am not an expert on cross compiling so I need some time to look into it. There is another PR that seems relevant. I'll reference it here #36

I'm going to merge support for cross-compilation so that you will be able to cross-compile using nodec, feedbacks are welcome since we didn't test it on an arm platform.

Closing this in favor of #36 to avoid redundant issues. Feel free to re-open this should you need it.
