Research direction
The issue is about running Wasp on Termux (Android) which gives an 'Exec format error' due to CPU architecture mismatch. Investigate the possibility of providing ARM (aarch64) binary builds for Wasp. Review the current build system and CI/CD configuration to see if cross compilation for ARM is feasible. Check the comments for any workarounds or maintainer feedback.
