cudf: [BUG] unknown type in template argument, when building cudf python bindings on ARM

After a long struggle I have managed to install successfully libcudf, nvstrings and dependencies such as dlpack, rmm on Jetson Nano (ARM - AArch64).

I had completely functional libarrow and Pyarrow already in my machine - Pyarrow on ARM.

But, I’ve reached a dead end when building cudf python bindings due to a error wehn compiling cython arrow files.

Describe the bug

sudo -E python3 setup.py build_ext --inplace

Additional context Although env reports default Python as 2.7.15, I’ve used Python3 throughout my build. If this bug is resolved, I expect a successful cudf installation on ARM.
