Just as an update.  After trying the internally packaged library on the Pine A64 using Armbian, I ran into a number of issues with compiling libmozjs which I worked through.  Then I ran into libffi6 not being compatible with aarch64 and gave up after trying a bunch times.  I admit to not knowing a whole lot about programming for different architectures, but porting libffi6 over to aarch64 wasn't going to be something I wanted to do.

In the end I remembered that I had an actual RPi already running another service for me and got Synchronet going on that system on the first try.

Thanks for the suggestions.  TL;DR is Pine A64 / Aarch64 doesn't seem like it's quite compatible.  RPi sure is, though!
