We have an ARM based server for bioinformatics running Ubuntu with a lot of debian-med packages.
A request for dada2 triggered the installation, but very soon run into trouble. The source code should compiler, but there are x86 specific code in the source.
The errors are missing cpuid.h etc.

g++ -march=armv8-a+crc+crypto -mcpu=cortex-a72 -c Rmain.cpp -o Rmain.o
Rmain.cpp:7:10: fatal error: cpuid.h: No such file or directory
#include <cpuid.h>

As ARM based servers are ramping up in this segment I would like to raise the issue here and ask for a fix so that it will build on ARM systems, preferable Ubuntu.
