Non-workaround

• If I turn off buildkit (and use the deprecated builder) I get further, however, our dockerfiles use RUN << which is not supported on the old builder.

Workaround

The solution seems to be to remove the --platform amd64 line from the docker build script. And then it "works" but I am not sure what the right final solution is. The only thing I can think of is to have a switch on the build script that skips the --platform command.
