Why do I get this error when I do a balena build usin the below command ?  
balena build --deviceType beaglebone-black --arch armv7hf --emulated

I am able to build it locally using the docker build.

[Build] main [====================\>] 100% Step 20/20: make: \*\*\* [binary/lora] Error 1  
[Error] Build failed  
Error: The command ‘/tmp/qemu-execve -execve /bin/sh -c make’ returned a non-zero code: 2

Is it because of the size of image?
