You could try downloading the source installer and using that - it
works the same way as the binary installer, except you can (and
should) use multiple processors if available ("--nproc=X", where X is
the number of CPUs to use).  But we have absolutely no experience with
this architecture; I would be surprised if you didn't encounter
problems.
