Curious, what Linux reports for arm 32bit binaries on arm64 host ?

I have no idea, I'm afraid.

lazytwitter turned up https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/136407/is-my-linux-arm-32-or-64-bit for me,

On a 64-bit processor, you'd see a string starting with armv8 (or above) if the uname process itself is a 32-bit process, or aarch64 if it's a 64-bit process.

looks like it's actually aarch64 for 32-bit uname on 64-bit kernel

We also need to know what's being returned by getauxval. You can use https://people.freebsd.org/~trasz/u.c to check it.
