NOTE: to install all the required packages on Arch, you need an [AUR helper](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers).

I had to run this to get guestmount to work without sudo:
```bash
sudo dpkg-statoverride --update --add root root 0644 /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r`
```

Then you must run `python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt`

After that, run `scons toolchain`, this should download and build the required tools (binutils and GCC). If you encounter errors during this step, you might have to modify `build_scripts/config.mk` and try a different version of **binutils** and **gcc**. Using the same version as the one bundled with your distribution is your best bet.
