For reference for future readers of this issue: the actions runner uses .NET Core as a dependency. That means, as of right now, we can only support the OS/CPU architectures that .NET Core itself currently supports.
https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/3.1/3.1-supported-os.md
Porting the runner to Go or Typescript will allow us to support a wider variety of OS/CPU arch combos.
