Upstream provides generic binaries for at least x86, x86-64 and ARM64:

  https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/releases
  https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/releases/download/v2.8.0/git-lfs-linux-386-v2.8.0.tar.gz
  https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/releases/download/v2.8.0/git-lfs-linux-amd64-v2.8.0.tar.gz
  https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/releases/download/v2.8.0/git-lfs-linux-arm64-v2.8.0.tar.gz

Would just downloading and installing the official upstream binaries be so bad?
