I have been analyzing this further. On a number of places in Makefile.* files 
only architectures i?86 and x86_64 are supported I changed that and do allow 
aarch64 also. Now a version with this architecture also builds OK. However a 
non-free file libesmod*.so for the aarch64 architecture is missing. They are 
only available for i386 and x86_64.

I asked for support from Epson, but did not yet get an answer.
