This particular log was produced by sbuild. In order to cross build with
sbuild for arm64, you pass --host=arm64. If you prefer using pbuilder,
the option becomes --host-arch arm64. If you use something else, you
need to pass --host-arch arm64 to dpkg-buildpackage. Hope this helps.
please let me know if this doesn't.

Beware that cross building is not an expected archive feature. It is
more like a port. Maintainers are supposed to apply patches on a
best-effort basis and porters (like me) are supposed to supply them. So
if you run into some error that you deem too difficult, don't hesitate
to post a build log to debian-cross at lists.debian.org to receive help.
Making jami cross buildable will be a longer journey. My patch goes a
long way, but it is insufficient.
