+// However, current `ubuntu-24.04-arm` job runners have to run on Neoverse N1 CPUs (as opposed to

 //@ only-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
 // Reason: this test is only valid for AArch64 with `gcc`. The linker must be explicitly specified
 // when cross-compiling, so it is limited to `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu`.
