Removed the section I added on using an aarch64 machine to build for armv6/7, as it doesn't work well enough to be useful

==== Distributed Builds ====
Some aarch64 CPUs can run armv7l and armv6l code natively. This means you can use an aarch64 machine as a distributed builder by setting, e.g. <code>extra-platforms = armv6l-linux</code> in nix.conf on the aarch64 machine, then adding it as a builder on the armv6l machine, as decribed in the [https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Distributed_build section on distributed builds]. If you have a suitable aarch64 machine available, this can greatly reduce build times when targetting a relatively slow arm device.
