download-tools.sh and non-x86 platforms

[bronikowski]

I know this might be out of scope (because it will require cross-compiling?) but the script does not detect the CPU platform. Maybe a sane way to handle it would be just exit()-ing when a non-supported platform is detected?

Other than that, it looks like a great project!

That's a great suggestion! Indeed, all the tools (DJGPP, GDB, DOSBox-x) have only been compiled for x86_64. On macOS with "Apple Silicon" aka AARCH64, that's fine, as Rosetta 2 will happily runt he x86_64 macOS binaries. On Linux and Windows that's not fine.

I think your suggestion is a good first band aid. I'll add it asap.

Great. If you want I can test any/all improvements or maybe I should try to build them against arm64 and host the results somewhere? Or maybe try it with whatever versions pacman/apt has and see if it will fly like that. Then you'd only need to hint at pre-requirements, I think Linux users will manage with that.
