Cross-platform specific error when installing latest hex
It seems like downloading latest hex when building for a non-native platform is broken 
I have the following Dockerfile:
FROM hexpm/elixir:1.16.2-erlang-26.2.3-alpine-3.19.1
RUN apk add git
RUN mix archive.install github hexpm/hex branch latest --force
Using M-series MacBook if I build it for amd64 architecture, I get an error:
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 --file ./Dockerfile --no-cache --progress plain .

After encountering this problem, I decided to document everything I discovered, but chose not to dig further at the moment… So no, didn’t manage to solve this.
I’ll speculate that the problem here is at the intersection of Erlang / qemu, since qemu is typically used by docker buildx to build images across platforms. And if so, it wouldn’t be the first time specific version of Erlang / qemu is affected by this… See: [arm64+otp 25+qemu] `mix local.hex --force` hangs - although there, the problem is even worse, e.g. a segmentation fault. But I am not 100% sure if the two issues are related
