Subject: bug#45826: SBCL / Common Lisp packages fail to build on aarch64

I noticed that many Common Lisp or SBCL-related packages are failing to
build on the aarc64 platform on our build farm, due the failure to build
SBCL:

This is SBCL 2.1.0, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.

It appears that SBCL can support this platform. However, until we make
it work, I plan to remove aarch64 from the "supported-systems" of sbcl,
to avoid attempting these builds.
