@prabhuk25 : Do you think these changes need to be ported for UBI10 too?

@prabhuk25 : It seems build is failing for ppc64le . Do you know if ubuntu-22.04 runner has ppc64le emulation enabled?

#9 [ 2/20] RUN mkdir -p /home/tooling/
#9 0.111 exec /bin/sh: exec format error
#9 ERROR: process "/bin/sh -c mkdir -p /home/tooling/" did not complete successfully: exit code: 255

@rohanKanojia: No, the ubuntu-22.04 GitHub-hosted runner does not have ppc64le emulation enabled by default. So, I have used QEMU to enable explicitly.
